Criminals today always appear to be one step ahead of the security measures employed to prevent break-ins, raids and thefts. Physical security is destroyed, CCTV deceived and alarms ignored. Question: what solution is there to stop organised gangs committing these crimes? Answer: Concept Smoke Screen's security smoke systems. Can't see it? Can't steal it!

Robberies within the banking and finance sector (in and out of hours) are by their very nature fast, targeted and violent and the best way of counteracting this is in kind, with an instant and confrontational barrier of security smoke.  Concept's smoke screen generators are installed in such a way as to provide optimal defence and deterrence whilst deliberately leaving an exit route, preventing panic and safeguarding the welfare of any staff / members of the public present. The smoke screen will protect valuables and at the same time force the criminals to retreat back the way they came, they know the robbery is over and they just want to get out of there! Where physical barriers, alarms and CCTV fail, security smoke prevails.  The introduction of security smoke into the area is the only measure that actually stops the crime, and prevents premises being attacked again in future.

Concept Smoke Screen's latest innovation is the 2009 Security Industry Award winning Guardian system, which is currently on trial with the UK's largest security services company, G4S and a well known high street bank.  A number of other prominent financial institutions also have it under consideration. Guardian provides effective portable protection for guards replenishing ATM sites, providing them with the sort of security smoke protection that was only previously available from permanently installed systems.  Guardian is a development of the highly successful Rapid DeploySmoke Screen system that has been in service with a number of British Police Forces for several years, and has provided a sterling service.
