DeterTech, serving as the official site security partner of Brentford FC, is contributing to the establishment of a certified Safe Haven at the Gtech Community Stadium. This initiative underscores the shared focus of both organizations on enhancing community safety and well-being.
24/7 Assistance and Security
Located in the west stand security hub on Lionel Road South, the Safe Haven operates around the clock, every day of the year. Managed by skilled security personnel, it is accessible to any individual seeking support or feeling vulnerable. This facility marks Brentford FC’s ongoing commitment to community support.
Contacting Emergency Services
Safe Havens are specialized support centers offering various forms of aid, such as contacting emergency services, providing phone charging services, and assisting with travel arrangements, including taxi bookings and connecting with family and friends. These facilities are accredited by the Safer Business Network and can be found in diverse locations like shops, cafes, pubs, and libraries.

Sarah Craig, Chief Marketing Officer at DeterTech, remarked, “Our purpose at DeterTech is always to bring greater peace of mind to people and communities, every day. The Safe Haven campaign is one of many powerful examples of how we put that into action.”
Commitment to Community Safety
Brentford FC's chief executive, Jon Varney, commented, “We are a club that sits in the heart of the community and it is vital that we are able to support our fans and those living in the local area. In creating a Safe Haven space at our stadium, we are ensuring there is help available for anyone at any time of day.”
He added that this endeavor aligns with the club’s broader efforts to foster inclusive and secure environments not just on matchdays but every day, focusing particularly on the safety of women and girls.
Enhanced Safety Measures
DeterTech's involvement in the Safe Haven initiative is part of a broader effort to bolster Brentford FC’s dedication to fan safety and community wellness. This collaboration builds on previous efforts such as organizing crime prevention sessions and providing free bike marking services for spectators on matchdays.
Leveraging its expertise in risk management and deterrent technology, DeterTech will supply the Safe Haven team with essential resources and guidance, ensuring a safe and inclusive environment for all visitors at the stadium.
