That means more than 100,000 people across almost 8,000 UK organisations are now receiving expert advice and guidance directly from Counter Terrorism Policing straight to their smart phone or tablet device - Will you join them?

With the coronavirus pandemic changing all of our day to day routines, we understand that the threat from terrorism isnt necessarily front of mind for businesses. But the threat of terrorism sadly has not gone away. The recent terror attacks in Europe and the change in the UKs terrorism threat level to SEVERE meaning an attack is highly likely - are reminders of how important it is to remain vigilant and for businesses to be prepared and able to protect their colleagues and customers.

  1. ACT Early in responding to & reporting suspicious activity directly to CT Policing
  2. Develop & implement their incident response plans (e.g.Evacuation, Invacuation & Lockdown procedures) using the assured advice within

    2. UK Protect Bulletins outlining latest CT news & campaigns to support you and your organisational resilience
  4. Sign up for CT Policing Training e.g. ACT Corporate or the ACT E-Learning
  5. Shape the future content of the tool by submitting feedback directly via the App because Together We Are Stronger
