SHIELD PCP is a project funded by the European Union, which brings together first responders, public authorities, and technology providers to co-create innovative solutions for public spaces protection.
Using a Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) approach, the project transforms real operational needs into innovative tools that support safer, better-coordinated responses in dynamic crowd environments.
SHIELD PCP connects security practitioners and technology innovators in shaping the next generation of solutions for public space protection.
Whether you are a law enforcement agency, public authority, first responder, security operator in public spaces, or technology supplier, you can take part in shaping solutions that make public spaces safer and more resilient.
SHIELD4CROWD laid the foundation for a European approach to protecting public spaces through innovation and Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP).
By identifying common vulnerabilities, mapping technology gaps, and uniting security practitioners across Europe, the project prepared the ground for SHIELD PCP—turning shared needs into concrete innovation actions.
