Be Reassured<\/h2>\n

The threat from International Terrorism to the United Kingdom remains at SEVERE – an attack is highly likely; this has been since August 2014.<\/p>\n

Be Alert, not Alarmed<\/h2>\n

Police have exercised plans to respond to multi seated firearms attacks and may increase their presence in some areas. Don\u2019t become fearful or withdraw from the streets. Statements from national police are posted on the Metropolitan Police website<\/a><\/p>\n

Businesses and priority Crowded Places have been working with police (NaCTSO<\/abbr> and the CTSA<\/abbr> network) to protect sites and staff from a variety of terrorist attacks. This includes music, sport and entertainment venues, restaurants, hotels and shops.<\/p>\n

Be Vigilant and Report Suspicious Behaviour<\/h2>\n

Police act on information from the public who report suspicious behaviour. <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIf you suspect it, report it\u201d by contacting police directly or though the anti-terrorist hotline on 0800 789 321<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Vigilant behaviour by staff and the public can disrupt attack planning. Businesses can run Vigilance Campaigns<\/a>, make their CCTV control rooms more effective at spotting and acting on suspicious activity<\/a> and their staff can attend Project Griffin events.<\/p>\n

Plan now what you will do to STAY SAFE<\/h2>\n

\u2018Stay Safe\u2019 principles (Run Hide Tell) give some simple actions to consider at an incident and the information that armed officers may need in the event of a weapons or firearms attack. Full guidance is contained on the NaCTSO<\/abbr> website<\/a><\/p>\n

Conduct a health check on your premises. Crowded Place booklets<\/a> contain clear self-help guidance and check-lists.<\/p>\n
