Advice for Businesses

Counter Terrorism Policing works with a wide range of industries to tackle the terrorist threat. Your business can play a significant role in keeping the public safe.

Counter Terrorism Policing provides help, advice and guidance to government, business and industry to protect from terrorist threat:

  • Crowded places throughout the UK

  • Hazardous sites and dangerous substances

  • The critical national infrastructure – working with the National Protective Security Authority (NPSA)

  • Personal security

We support a network of about 190 counter terrorism security advisors (CTSAs) who work within local police forces as officers and staff. Their primary role is to provide help, advice and guidance on all aspects of counter terrorism protective security to specified industry sectors.

There are a number of useful websites, resources, and E-Learning programmes which can help your business and staff evaluate and manage the risk posed by terrorism.
