The Imbert Prize was instituted in 2005, and is awarded annually by the Association of Security Consultants (ASC) for the development of ideas for the advancement of risk and security management in the UK. [1]

Contents

The prize consists of three categories: [2]

  1. Best academic dissertation
  2. Most notable contribution in the security industry in the preceding year
  3. The ASC member that has made the most significant contribution to independent security consultancy.

The prize is named after Lord Imbert, a patron of the ASC, who was Commissioner of Scotland Yard 1987–1993, and was a prominent figure in debates about security and policing. Though known for his involvement in the wrongful arrests of the Guildford Four he was credited for his management of Thames Valley Police and improvements of the Metropolitan Police Service that were indicative of his continual efforts to modernise British law enforcement.

The annual prize is judged by senior figures from the UK policing, security, military and intelligence communities from dissertations selected by university faculty.
