Wilf Knight Award 2011
Angus Darroch-Warren was announced as the winner of the 2010 Wilf Knight Award at the prestigious Security Excellence Awards held in London, in October. Read full details in the attached Press Release.
Why does the Institute have this Award?
There are three reasons:
- To remember Security Institute Fellow Wilf Knight, who was a security professional through and through, having had a distinguished police career, a commitment to academic achievement and a highly successful and respected security consultancy.
- To encourage individuals developing their professional security career
- To identify a piece of work which could be useful to the security community
The Institute invites universities and other degree training providers to nominate either a student project, report or dissertation which has featured as course work, and which shows particular distinction and/or innovation and which makes a valuable contribution to the field of security management or practice.
What are the Judges looking for?
This competition is about excellence and innovation in security - it could be a management subject or methodology, it could be research and recommendations, a work-place based assignment - put simply, it is something new and fresh that will be of benefit to the security community in the field of security management or practice.
The criteria are:
- The nominated work must be the author's own and be supported by the university or training provider.
- Authors need not be members of the Security Institute.
- Only one entry for each university or provider may be submitted.
- The minimum level of study should be 1st degree.
The successful student will be awarded a cash prize of £500 and a winner's certificate and will be invited to the Security Excellence Awards hosted by UBM as the Institute's dinner guest. The winner is announced at the Awards ceremony hosted by UBM live, giving excellent exposure to the student's talent and the supporting University.
