ANTI TERRORISM
Following the tragic incident on Westminster Bridge and at the Palace of Westminster it is important that the police security stance and the private sector are joined up. To ensure this NaCTSO recommend businesses consider some protective security tactics to aid their security, whilst remembering that the threat level remains at ‘SEVERE’.

You should refresh the knowledge of security staff that have received Project Griffin and Project Argus training, all staff should be encouraged to proactively challenge visitors, vehicles, and anything out of place.

It is important that you review your security plans particularly around crowded places, night-time economy, and iconic sites.

You should also review your building and business continuity plans in the light of this attack. First aid points should be checked to make sure they are fully stocked and the location of key equipment is made clear to all staff. NaCTSO also recommend that staff refresh themselves on Run, Hide, Tell advice. The number of casualties treated by the public highlights the importance of understanding first aid.
