Indespension Tows the Police Line

Quick and simple to deploy, the Police Cordon trailer barrier system frees up officers for more hands-on policing. In public order events like those that we’re witnessing today, it’s vital that people can be contained and removed safely and effectively.

Government and police forces up and down the UK are aware of the threat posed to the communities they protect more than ever before.

This is something the emergency services have to plan for and practice dealing with - and the training and investment in manpower to control the movement of the general public in such scenarios puts a huge strain on resources.

Since 2007, Indespension has worked with Security Surveillance companies, who have partnered with industry-leading specialists and the United Kingdom's Police National (PN) CBRN Centre, to manufacture an effective and efficient Scene Management Barrier.

Research and development resulted in the introduction of the Indespension Police Cordon Barrier System. Designed for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN), and public order events, the system is used to protect key assets and control large crowd movement. In such an event, law enforcement personnel need to be freed up to evacuate or eject people safely, not police the perimeter to prevent others from entering before it’s safe to do so.

Quick and simple to deploy, the trailer barrier system significantly reduces the staff required to set up cordons, and free officers for more hands-on policing.

Successful crowd control can now be handled by less than five officers at each site, improving police and public safety and enabling better allocation of resources by incident controllers.

The individual ‘flat wall’ barrier comes as a self-contained trailer which can be towed by a police vehicle to incident sites. Upon arrival on site, the trailer barrier system can be quickly deployed by two officers in full CBRN protective clothing, ensuring minimal time in the contact zone.

When fully extended, the 13m long barrier system provides a protective width equivalent to a conventional cordon of approximately twenty officers, greatly reducing staffing requirements to maintain the containment. Multiple barriers can be joined together to create an extended blockade, coming complete with winches and chains to align and lock systems together and/or secure to ‘street furniture’ (e.g. post boxes, lamp posts, etc).
