Mark Knoff-Thomas: Newmarket Business Association CEO on the Crowded Places Strategy

The country's getting up to scratch on teaching Kiwis how to manage possible lone wolf attackers in crowded spaces.  Police are promoting the mantra 'escape, hide, tell' to show the public what to do during an attack.   The Crowded Places Strategy includes information on how to detect possible attackers, and how to conduct security audits.   Auckland's Newmarket Business Association CEO Mark Knoff-Thomas told Kerre Woodham there have been situations where people freeze or start filming, which isn’t ideal.  He says they want to make sure people are armed and educated with the best knowledge possible, as even if it’s not applicable in New Zealand, it may come in useful overseas.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
