The Official Police Security Initiative aims to enhance the security of buildings and their surroundings, creating secure environments for different purposes. 

The initiative's Secured by Design (SBD) accreditation scheme ensures that security products meet recognised standards to deter and reduce crime.

The level of certification categorised under its Security Rating 2 and Security Rating 3 gives specifiers insight into the level of resistance offered and the type of tools used for intrusion attempts.

The SR2 level is specifically designed to withstand determined opportunist attacks using tools with higher mechanical advantages, while the higher SR3 rating is certified against deliberate forced entry for a prolonged period using a wider selection of tools.
