Our Next Meeting – 17th May 2019

Vintners Hall, Upper Thames St, EC4V 3BG
To attend, please contact:
A warm welcome to the City of London Crime Prevention Association
Knowing the risks, understanding what can be done to tackle them and providing members with a network of like-minded professionals are the aims behind the Association.
With the recent terrorist attacks in the UK and Europe, the importance of security professionals working in partnership to make decisions about the appropriate level of protection to put in place is ever more apparent.
During these difficult times, please use this website for crucial, security-related events, information and advice to those working in security.
Don Randall MBE, Chairman of CoLCPA
