Alexandra Palace is the latest organisation to sign up to Halo (v5).
Halo Solutions will equip the Grade II-listed Alexandra Palace with a wide range of crowd safety and security capabilities to protect its buildings, services, infrastructure and the public.
Halo (v5) will also be used to assist in Alexandra Palace’s overall enhanced security preparedness to tackle counter-terrorism under Martyn’s Law (amended Protect Duty and play a pivotal role in ensuring crowds enjoy their experience at the venue in a safe and secure environment.)
The announcement comes as Halo recently finished its end-of-summer events, having protected 50 million people at more than 759 major sporting, music and entertainment events and business premises around the globe throughout the summer.
CEO and Halo founder, Lloyd Major, said: “We are delighted and thrilled to be working with such a proactive and world-class team at Alexandra Palace and for Halo (v5) to be playing an important role, not only in protecting the iconic Alexandra Palace and its estate, but also in helping to keep the public and visitors to the attraction safe and secure. Protecting the public and venues, and making public spaces safe places is our number one priority. As a former police officer and one who also worked in counter-terrorism, it has become my life mission with Halo to ensure that all sporting, music and entertainment venues adopt and embrace better communications and the latest safety and security technology, along with enhanced training and best practices. When it comes to the safety and security of the public, they are our number one priority.”
Emma Dagnes, CEO at Alexandra Park and Palace Charitable Trust, added: “We welcome five million visitors to the Park and Palace each year for a variety of events and experiences, that truly enrich people’s lives. At the heart of this is people’s safety and ensuring our security standards, at all touch points, are of the highest standards. We are pleased to be working with Halo as we continue to enhance our security set up, so that Alexandra Palace can be enjoyed and bring benefit to all.”
Halo (v5) is already being deployed and protecting the public at some of the world’s largest, most prestigious, and high-profile events, including the FIFA World Cup fan zones in Qatar (2022), Cricket World Cup (2019), British Grand Prix, Notting Hill Carnival, Glastonbury Festival and the Miami F1 Grand Prix. It is also being used at a number of arena and conference venues across the UK, including The NEC Group, Motorpoint Arena, ACC Liverpool and ExCeL London.
