S R Furley (Public Domain/Wikimedia Commons)Amulet is delivering a 13-month contract for access control monitoring, surveillance and front-of-house security services at Docklands Light Railway depots in the East London suburbs of Beckton and Poplar.
A trial of a new sound app that detects verbal aggression and damage to assets, and identifies the need for additional CCTV towers or site guards to deter graffiti is already underway, with additional security coverage being provided during major events in the capital by a CCTV control and command vehicle.
The company’s expertise in supporting customers operating in the transport sector – including Northern Trains, Avanti West Coast, East Midlands Trains and c2c, were considered alongside its commitment to its people during the competitive tender process.
Amulet became more of a partner to us than a supplier by involving us in innovation days, providing proposals for new solutions and trialling new technology to enhance security across the depots.
Kieran Mackie, managing director at Amulet, says: “We were delighted to start what we hope will be a long and successful partnership with such a prestigious transport network. We’re looking forward to implementing our recommendations and enhancing the existing security operations.”
Alisa Sultmane, head of security and emergency planning at DLR, adds: “Amulet’s reputation for excellence and dedication preceded them during the selection process. Immediately after the contract start, Amulet became more of a partner to us than a supplier by involving us in innovation days, providing proposals for new solutions and trialling new technology to enhance security across the depots. Their commitment to our partnership and innovative approach to security management make them the ideal choice for helping us to hit our objectives”
