Shopping centers are places of entertainment and social bonding. Customers flock to them to buy goods they want but even more so to enjoy the feeling of being part of a community. However, violence can also strike at those very places and turn what was a peaceful and fun experience into a nightmare. The horrific mass stabbing in a Sidney mall a few days ago is a grim reminder that these events can happen. However, it should serve as a catalyst to take action and do everything in our power to anticipate them and minimize their impact. This is exactly what we have been doing. For the past few months, SAFE Asset Group, with the support of ECSP and the NCSC - Nordic Commercial Spaces & Communities has been working on a guide to help shopping centers respond to an active assailant incident. An active assailant incident is an event in which one or more individuals use deadly force to attack people in a public place. This Guide will provide managers of shopping centers the right tools to prepare for such tragic events. It is paramount that the retail real estate sector is fully prepared for these types of attacks as it is our responsibility to do all we can to protect our customers: this Guide will be your best ally to help you with that. If you wish to access it, please contact me directly at bouyeron@ecsp.eu or DM me on Linkedin. Safety first! #retailrealestate #shoppingplaces #safety #malls #shoppingcenters #ECSP
