Counter Terrorism

Gloucestershire Constabulary, together with police forces nationwide, is better trained and equipped than ever before to combat the threat of International and Domestic Terrorism. Although there is no specific threat to Gloucestershire, the force, as part of the ongoing national counter terrorism strategy, has two dedicated Counter Terrorism Security Advisers (CTSAs).

The primary role of these advisors is to provide protective and counter terrorism security advice to support businesses.  The advice available takes into account both conventional and non-conventional terrorist techniques and the aim is to reduce vulnerability to terrorist threats. The advisors work closely with other police forces throughout the country, Government departments and other agencies.

'Our message to the public is 'be alert, not alarmed'. Having good security systems and procedures in place is a sensible precaution for everyone in business, it acts as a deterrent against all types of criminality, and terrorism is no exception. A small investment in security measures greatly enhances the feeling of security on behalf of everyone'.

For non urgent crime prevention advice local businesses can contact their local Police Crime Reduction Officer, but if you feel that your company could benefit from Counter Terrorism Security advice, you can write to the below address with details of your Security.
