Safe Events

I'm passionate about helping to raise the general level of safety at events through training, knowledge-sharing and development of resources. I enjoy being operational on large-scale, challenging events while also revelling in the creation and development of systems, procedures, documentation and more to improve how we plan and manage events.

Lloyd Major

Founder & CEO, Halo Solutions

An innovative and trustworthy leader with 17 years specialist police service. I have an excellent work ethic and high levels of self-motivation, as evidenced by obtaining over sixty local/divisional commander or chief constable commendations and national police bravery award. As well as being the first operational planner in the UK to complete a Masters Degree specialising in pre-planned public events and author of the World's first JESIP Operational Plan. During my service I have planned, delivered and worked on many local, national and international public events across the full spectrum of cricket, football, festival, public order protest and everything in-between. Many of these events have held ‘iconic/historical status’. This includes five years sitting on the Safety Advisory Group in Nottingham where I gave expert advice on 1000’s of events and being the first Academic Lead for public events in the UK on the National Policing Events Gold Group, designing the Authorised Professional Practice for Policing Events and the first Crime and Disorder chapter of the Purple Guide on behalf of National Police Chiefs Council. After this I provided Tactical Support to the National Counter Terrorism Police Operations Centre, assisting Government and Intelligence partners operating throughout the UK, Europe and further afield as a subject matter expert in domestic extremism/crowd behaviour - leading my team on how to make safe and secure a great many public events and protests during the extremely challenging years of 2016 to 2018. My final police posting was with Nottinghamshire Police as their Chief Instructor. Responsibilities included oversight of the public order command cadre, training school and use of force expert witness testimony. I’m passionate about improving public safety and am excited to take my skills and experience into the private sector.
