Trends in Security Information
The HSD Trendmonitor is designed to provide access to relevant content on various subjects in the safety and security domain, to identify relevant developments and to connect knowledge and organisations. The safety and security domain encompasses a vast number of subjects. Four relevant taxonomies (type of threat or opportunity, victim, source of threat and domain of application) have been constructed in order to visualize all of these subjects. The taxonomies and related category descriptions have been carefully composed according to other taxonomies, European and international standards and our own expertise.
In order to identify safety and security related trends, relevant reports and HSD news articles are continuously scanned, analysed and classified by hand according to the four taxonomies. This results in a wide array of observations, which we call ‘Trend Snippets’. Multiple Trend Snippets combined can provide insights into safety and security trends. The size of the circles shows the relative weight of the topic, the filters can be used to further select the most relevant content for you. If you have an addition, question or remark, drop us a line at info@securitydelta.nl.

Crowd management
Crowd management is the process by which large groups of people are managed. Signage (the use of signs and symbols), public address (PA) systems (including microphones, amplifiers, and related equipment), electronic systems, event hosts and security personnel are all involved in the management of crowds. Crowd management software and decision support systems can also be applied.
Since crowds have a different dynamic than individuals, they require a different approach, but similar technologies can be applied. Where crowd management is the passive monitoring and managing of a large group of people, crowd control is the active directing of a crowd of people and shares more commonalities with riot control. Therefore, crowd management is implemented during for example festivals, events and carnivals, whilst crowd control is implemented during riots, demonstrations and protests. Common methods include the use of crowd control barriers, fences, security personnel but also entertainment. When things get out of control, more stern methods can be applied such as the use of tear gas, water cannons and police horses.
