P1 – Identify the main threats to the security of people, property and premises in a chosen public
service.

premises in a chosen public service.
D1 – Evaluate one of these threats by using an example.
FA Cup 2017 – Wembley stadium
Property
Wembley stadium is a large arena which requires a lot of security before entering and on site.
Threats to people's property are more likely to happen when arguments between supporters
happen and they are not contained. The main threats to the security of property include;
Burglary – Burglary is the illegal entry of a building with intent to commit a crime, especially theft.
Burglary is unlikely to happen at Wembley stadium as there are regular security checks and patrols
and it is not possible for civilians to enter without a ticket and security checks. These checks will
help prevent anything from being taken or stolen from the stadium or someone who is there.
Theft – Theft is the action or crime of stealing. Theft from Wembley stadium is highly unlikely to
happen as there is nothing to steal apart from food bar items and even these are locked away
behind shutters when they are not being used.
Arson – Arson is the criminal act of deliberately setting fire to property. This is very likely and could
happen to Wembley stadium as people who strongly dislike football or hooligans could do this in
anger or to get revenge. Although Wembley is highly secured there is not people who patrol the
building all the time so they may struggle to prevent this situation. Wembley does have CCTV which
means they could catch someone in the act or use this as evidence to find out who set fire to the
building. Although arson is a likely possibility it does not occur often. There have only been a few
reported cases of arson at a football match, none of these being at Wembley stadium.
Commercial sabotage and product tampering - Sabotage is a deliberate action aimed at weakening
a polity or corporation through subversion, obstruction, disruption or destruction. Product
tampering is the deliberate contamination of goods after they have been manufactured. It is often
done to alarm consumers or to blackmail a company.

could happen here as Wembley is a high value company although it is unlikely.
Fraud – Fraud is the wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain.
As explained before Wembley is covered in all areas and fraud is most likely not to happen as there
is a large process of signatures and verification money must go through before it can be taken from
Wembley’s accounts or profits. Although ticket fraud is considered a high security risk ask they do
