AUSCO, Global. AUCSO (Association of University Chief Security Officers) has announced that Figen Murray OBE is the organisation’s first Patron. Figen Murray OBE is the mother of Martyn Hett, one 22 innocent people killed in the Manchester Arena terrorist attack on 22 May 2017, and is the driving force behind proposed counter terrorism legislation, known as Martyn’s Law. In the past five years, Figen has successfully worked with Prime Minister’s, cross-party politicians, security industry experts, and academics to create draft legislation that will make venues safer for the public. Martyn’s Law, otherwise known as the Protect Duty, will require venues with a capacity of 100 and more to improve their preparedness for, and protection from, a terrorist attack by implementing proportionate security measures. Figen said: “I am honoured to be AUCSO’s first ever Patron, as it celebrates its 40th anniversary, and I look forward to working with them as its members deliver the best standards of security on university campuses across 22 countries.”
