Success At The British Security Awards

We were proud to scoop a prestigious award at the 2019 BSIA British Security Awards held in London this week.

SelectaDNA won the Innovative Security Project award for our work with the Metropolitan Police who are deploying DNA Tagging Spray to reduce moped crime as part of Operation Venice.

The BSIA holds its annual awards to celebrate excellence in security. The awards were presented by journalist and broadcaster Jane Moore (pictured with SelectaDNA MD James Brown, left).

Summing up why SelectaDNA was chosen to win the award, The BSIA said: “SelectaDNA Tagging Spray is an innovative product that deters and prevents personal attack and criminal behaviour, including moped and motorcycle enabled crimes, and has been a major factor in the reduction in the number of times scooters were used to commit crime, leading to numerous arrests and successful convictions.”

Chief Executive of the BSIA, Mike Reddington, said: “The British Security Awards is a major celebration in the security industry calendar that recognises the talent and commitment of our industry’s finest.

“We have an industry fit to burst with positive ambassadors from within our sector; from young officers starting out to seasoned professionals - every one of them recognised today for having gone above and beyond expectations, demonstrating courage, innovation, customer service and contribution to the industry.

“Today’s winners and finalists should be very proud of their achievements, as indeed both we and the industry they represent are in rewarding them today.”
