SAFECROWDS has secured a partnership deal with one of the world’s foremost HVM specialists, ARX Security, making us one of just two official UK distributors for the industry-leading ARX Stopper!™ HVM system.
The move builds on our capabilities for counter terrorism services and hostile vehicle mitigation, giving us an even wider array of systems to offer clients, aligned to their threat, vulnerability and risk.
The ARX Stopper!™ is proven to enhance event security. A visual deterrent, which can be customised with branding or wayfinding, it provides effective protection against vehicle attacks and unauthorised vehicle access, while offering pedestrian permeability and supporting normal crowd flows, including ease of circulation for wheelchair users, and parents with infants in strollers. Consequently, ARX Stopper!™ is a logical choice for protecting attendees and infrastructure at places that attract large crowds, including football matches and concerts.
SAFECROWDS has already successfully deployed the ARX Stopper!™ HVM system at prominent football clubs across the UK, including those competing in the Premier League. Meanwhile, the ARX Stopper! ™ has been instrumental in enhancing safety measures at many local authority events, such as Christmas light turn-ons, Remembrance Sunday parades, and firework displays, effectively protecting tens of thousands of attendees at large-scale events.
The ARX Stopper!™ can be assembled in just 10 minutes and easily packed away and redeployed for future use. SAFECROWDS’ trained and experienced installation teams can deploy the ARX Stopper!™ as a standalone HVM system or as part of a wider hostile vehicle mitigation solution. It is part of our turnkey approach to counter terrorism services, which includes Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment (TVRA), Vehicle Dynamics Assessment (VDA), manned guarding, K9 explosives and pyro sweeps, facial recognition technology and RAPAID emergency bandages.
SAFECROWDS Founder and CEO, Rory McGoldrick, said: “Our deal with ARX Security demonstrates our growing reputation as a leading provider of hostile vehicle mitigation and counter terrorism services.
“The ARX Stopper!™ is an extremely versatile and effective HVM solution which can be deployed virtually anywhere, providing effective and proportionate pedestrian permeable protection against vehicle attacks and accidental vehicle incursions. We are very proud to be able to offer this excellent system to our clients, as part of a risk mitigation based approach to event safety and security.”
