Cheshire Police have a variety of tools to help
businesses prepare and prevent potential terrorist acts from taking
place.
The main purpose of these tools is to ensure
that people are kept informed and
security is maintained to the highest
degree.
Some of these tools allow the individual business to experience
simulated terrorist attacks through controlled mediums. These
simulated exercises allow for the strengths and weaknesses of the
buisnesses to be shown, and ultimately worked on. Ensuring that
should the real thing happen, the business would know what protocol
to follow and what other tactics it would need to use.
Project Griffin represents an alliance that assists in the fight
against terrorists, whether international or domestic. It aims to
work with people who are involved in some way with the safety and
security of a building, business or area and to empower them to
recognise and report suspicious activity and behaviour to the
police.
Project ARGUS is an interactive counter-terrorism tabletop
exercise designed to put you and your business in the midst of a
simulated terrorist attack as a multi-media exercise. The aim of
ARGUS is to promote awareness of the terrorist threat and help make
us more resilient as a community.
The Crowded Places Vulnerability Self Assessment Tool (VSAT),
which has been developed by NaCTSO, in partnership with leading
businesses across the UK, will assist owners, operators or those
responsible for the security of crowded places to determine their
vulnerability to terrorist attacks.
