Counter Terrorism Advice

Anti-terrorist Hotline : 0800 789 321

Or if the threat is immediate call : 999

If You Suspect It - Report It

In the current climate, the threat of terrorism is real and ongoing.

Across the country, people from all faiths and backgrounds are standing together to tackle terrorism.

By ensuring we each know how to recognise the signs and know what action to take, we can work together to prevent acts of terrorism.

Terrorists live amongst us; they store their equipment and materials. They need vehicles. They have people who help them - and these people might come and go at strange times of the day and night. They may make unusual financial transactions or use false documents to hide their real identities. They may be behaving differently to how you've known them to behave in the past.

The Police become aware of people or activity in a variety of ways but often the most accurate and valuable information is that passed on by neighbours, work colleagues, friends and even family members of those involved.

If you see something, say something. Call the anti-terrorist hotline on 0800 789 321 or if the threat is immediate call 999.

Counter Terrorism Security Advisers

North East Counter Terrorism Unit , together with the North East regional forces, is better trained and equipped than ever before to combat the threat of International and Domestic terrorism. As part of the ongoing national counter terrorism strategy, the unit 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 (MI5) in the Centre for Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI).

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 Counter Terrorism Units and Police Forces throughout the Country, Government departments and other agencies.

The public can play a key role in supporting the Counter Terrorism Unit and the Police. By remaining vigilant, being security minded and having good security measures in place, you can protect your business against crime and make the work of terrorists more difficult. A small investment in security measures greatly enhances the feeling of security on behalf of everyone and helps protect those around you.

For non-urgent crime prevention advice, 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 following address :
