**Station security for station business (2017)**

The UIC handbook “Station security for station business: handbook on effective solutions” is the result of the temporary project group “security of stations”, in which members of the UIC Station Managers Global Group (SMGG) and the UIC Security Platform collaborated together. The handbook has been endorsed by UITP and by the UIC special group COLPOFER.
