Counter Terrorism Policing
East Midlands
Counter Terrorism Policing East Midlands (CTPEM) is a Counter Terrorism Intelligence Unit, dedicated to tackling the threat of terrorism in the East Midlands.
Part of the wider East Midlands Special Operations Unit (EMSOU), the team covers Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and Nottinghamshire.
In the East Midlands, there are also dedicated officers who monitor international borders, at both air and sea. With over 200 aviation and maritime sites across the region, these sites are important to monitor in order to police threats posed by those wishing to do harm, or seeking to undermine national security, be it in the form of people, their luggage, or postal traffic.
A key function of the unit is to protect and prepare regional sites and infrastructure, events and prominent individuals, as well as those visiting the area, that may be the potential subject of terrorist or other types of attack. It’s response planning aiming to mitigate the impact of any attack, and the team provides specialist security advice, as well as offers exercising and training, to business, key organisations and agencies.
