The Elysium Paphos is one of Cyprus’ most prestigious hotels, favoured by several celebrities and royals. This week the hotel has been host to the Security Survey and Design Course, and, unusually, has been itself the subject of the survey study.
After one and a half days of formal input on security risk analysis, security design and survey methodology, the eight participants set about a comprehensive survey study of the 300-room property, requiring day and night inspections. Due to the special nature of this type of business, which has a very broad spectrum of threat sources and targets, course participants have been working especially hard on the risk analysis, visiting all back-of-house areas and interviewing key supervisors and front line staff.

The next task for participants, working as syndicates, is to produce survey reports and to deliver a management presentation. With just two days left, and two evening feasts to attend this is going to be a tall order!
The course is led by David Cresswell MSc CPP PSP.
The next Security Surveying and Design Course takes place in the UK, 21-25 April. Contact Janet for details.
