Business Continuity Initiative of the Year
This award will recognise the awareness initiative that is both educational
and supports the business continuity message throughout the organisation
(public or private) and the broader community as a whole. Further,
the initiative should aim to drive business continuity management
thinking forward, encouraging buy-in at board level and involvement
throughout the organisation. Examples may include films, roadshows
or scenarios, innovative use of internet/intranet or any unique/unusual
idea for raising business continuity awareness.
The Business Continuity Initiative of the Year award is sponsored by the City of London Police
The City of London Police serves to protect the largest financial centre in the world. It is therefore classed as a specialist police force and has combating economic crime, countering the terrorist threat, managing public order and effective community policing as its priorities. The City of London Police is the Lead force for the investigation of Economic Crime and Overseas Corruption. The City of London Police also has an excellent national and international reputation for working in partnership with businesses. Project Griffin, a very successful initiative that empowers security staff to identify hostile reconnaissance is one such example. City Police are also spearheading the use of Business Policing Teams within business dominant communities. These units deliver high quality services by placing specialist staff into dedicated and localised teams. Such initiatives will help to ensure that the City of London retains its world lead status.
