I think every time you criticise the police your name should go in a raffle and next time something awful happens you should have to go deal with it.
‘Go on Janine, 44, from Scunthorpe. You said you could do better. Well he’s got an axe. Good luck.’
Most people think protective security is about response.
In reality, it’s about decisions made long before anything happens.
The organisations and individuals who get this right don’t talk about “security”.
They focus on clarity, timing, and judgement when the stakes are high #uk
Risk is still treated too late.
A report.
A reaction.
A problem to fix.
But in reality—
Risk intelligence is decision intelligence.
If you bring risk in early, outcomes improve.
If you don’t—you’re already behind.
Does risk sit at your leadership table?

Today’s the day! @PressJusticeNow conference Kingsley Napley where Simon Morgan our Founder will be speaking on a panel about his experience with the media whilst being a Police Protection Officer to the British Royal Family. #media#law#police#riskmanagement#leadership#UK
Over the past week we’ve shared a simple idea:
Protective Risk Management deserves a seat at the leadership table.
When risk is understood early, leaders gain something critical: Clarity in uncertainty.
That’s what allows time to plan, move forward and protect what matters #risk
We had the opportunity to contribute to a @channel5_tv documentary examining the assassination attempts on Queen Victoria.
As former Royal Protection Officers,we shared insights on how protection operated in the Victorian era compared to today. #risk#police#london#royalty
Protective Risk Management deserves a seat at the leadership table.
The organisations that manage risk best do things differently. They define and evaluate #risk before it becomes disruption.
When risk is identified early and properly, leaders retain something critical: Choice
Protective Risk Management deserves a seat at the leadership table.
Not simply to identify problems.
But early — to guide decisions, shape outcomes, and protect continuity.
When risk intelligence is present early, leaders retain something critical:
Choice.

At Off the Record you’ll hear from:
• Leading media lawyers
• Former senior policing leaders
• Whistleblowers who challenged corruption
Three panels.
Three perspectives.
One vital conversation.
Secure your place.
Protective Risk Management deserves a seat at the leadership table.
But not to react once exposure becomes visible.
In many organisations,risk only enters the conversation when something has already started to escalate.
A trend shifts,a chart moves,a meeting changes tone.
#Risk
Protective Risk Management deserves a seat at the leadership table.
Because risk emerges before it escalates.
Too often organisations recognise risk only once exposure becomes visible.
By then:
• options narrow
• consequences accelerate
• decisions become reactive

When a major incident unfolds, who controls the narrative?
The police?
The press?
Whoever publishes first?
Panel 2 – The Heat and The Headlines explores how stories are shaped under pressure.
Join the conversation.
When a major incident makes the news, the pressure is immediate. Decisions are made in minutes. Information moves in seconds. The public forms opinions just as quickly.
Panel 2, The Heat and The Headlines, brings together three people who understand that pressure from the inside.
Jacqui Hames | Jeff Hill | Simon Morgan
They have worked at the front lines of policing, media, and crisis response. They know what it’s like when the cameras are rolling, the statements are being drafted, and the story is unfolding in real time.
This panel goes beyond theory.
It’s about what really happens behind the scenes:
How decisions are made under intense scrutiny,
How narratives take shape in the first critical hours,
And how trust can be strengthened or lost in a single news cycle.
Inside the tension.
Inside the pressure.
Be in the room.
Protective Risk Management deserves a seat at the leadership table.
But not as a retrospective exercise.
Too often risk is consulted after decisions are approved.
By then, options are already narrowing.
Effective risk management should inform decisions before approval #risk
@grahamwettone Hogan-Howe is a classic case of confused ambition and ability. He will do the bidding of another Home Secretary like he did under Theresa May. No accountability, if there was he wouldn’t be allowed anywhere near policing again!
Protective Risk Management deserves a seat at the leadership table.
Too often risk is consulted after decisions are approved.
But risk rarely appears suddenly.
It emerges early.
When risk intelligence is integrated early:
• leaders retain choice
• outcomes can be shaped

Police. Press. Power.
Who controls the story when it matters most?
Off the Record brings together leading legal practitioners, senior policing voices and whistleblowers to examine how privacy, public interest and accountability collide in today’s fast-moving media landscape.
Three provocative panels:
👁️ The Legal Lens – How privacy law, open justice and media practice collide in real time.
🔥 The Heat and The Headlines – Who shapes the narrative when pressure is highest?
🚨 Corruption, Cover-Ups & Courage – What it really takes to challenge institutional failure.
Whether you are a solicitor, barrister, journalist, or simply someone with an interest in press justice and fairness, this event offers an inside view of how law, media and institutional power intersect — where the fault lines lie and what happens when they collide.
