Police Preferred Specification

When it comes to securing your home or business, not all security products are equal. Products that meet Police Preferred Specifications are crafted to high standards to provide additional protection. But what exactly does “Police Preferred Specification” mean, and why does it matter to you?

 

What is Police Preferred Specification?

In the UK, Secured by Design (SBD) is the official police initiative that helps prevent crime by accrediting high-quality, innovative products. Founded by Police Crime Prevention Initiatives on behalf of UK police services, SBD recognises products that meet strict security standards, known as the Police Preferred Specification.

Products that meet these standards display the Secured by Design logo, signifying that they’ve undergone targeted testing by independent experts. Achieving Secured by Design accreditation is the only way for products to gain police recognition in the UK.

At Defender Security Products, we offer a range of Secured by Design accredited products that meet these high standards, giving you dependable solutions that enhance security and peace of mind.

How Secured by Design Certification Works

Secured by Design accredited products must withstand carefully designed tests that simulate real-world security threats to effectively deter intruders. They also undergo quality checks, and, for some, annual reviews or specific product re-testing as required.

The Secured by Design principles have been proven to reduce the risk and fear of crime. According to West Yorkshire Police, research has shown that properties equipped with Secured by Design accredited products experience up to 87% fewer burglaries and 25% less vehicle crime, making SBD products a trusted choice for enhancing security.
