Security and protection

Developing technologies for security and protection

We evaluate, test and develop equipment and techniques to help protect the public and the national infrastructure.

We work to improve security and help counter terrorism by:

  • improving the security of government buildings and their surroundings, including prisons
  • providing advice to government and police on protecting against terrorist attacks
  • developing standards for testing the equipment used in building and site security
  • evaluating and developing explosives and weapons-detection equipment
  • providing security training to customers in the police, military, government and industry
