'The Role of a Regulated Private Security Industry in Support of Counter-Terrorism and Crime Reduction' is the theme for next year's Joint Security Industry Council (JSIC) Forum which, for the first time, moves out of its London 'home' at Westminster's QEII Conference Centre – instead taking place at The Royal Court Hotel, Keresley in Coventry.

To be held on Wednesday 9 April, the Forum will examine the key operational guidelines laid down by the Security Industry Authority, review police service reform and debate homeland security issues.

For further information on the JSIC Annual Security Forum 2003 telephone Steve Blewett on 01344 638625/873113.
