Cheshire Police, together with police forces throughout the
United Kingdom, are better trained and equipped than ever
before to combat the threat of International and Domestic
terrorism.
Who is part of Cheshire Constabulary's counter terrorism
strategy?
The Force, as part of the ongoing national counter terrorism
strategy, has dedicated Counter Terrorism Security Advisers (CTSAs)
who are coordinated, trained and tasked by the National Counter
Terrorism Security Office (NaCTSO), a specialist police
organisation co-located with the Security Service in the National
Security Advice Centre (NSAC).
What are the roles of Counter Terrorism Security Advisers
(CTSAs)?
The primary role of these advisers 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
CTSAs
work closely
with other police forces throughout the country, government
departments and other agencies.
What can I do as a member of the public?
The public can play a key role in supporting the police. They
can do this by:
- Remaining vigilant
- Being security minded and having good security measures in
place.
A small investment in security measures, greatly enhances the
feeling of security on behalf of everyone and helps protect those
around you.
