Counter Terrorism Policing North West
Counter Terrorism Policing North West (CTPNW) (formerly the North West Counter Terrorism Unit set up in 2007) reflects a formal collaboration between the five NW police forces.
CTPNW works within the national Counter Terrorism network to make sure that UK Police forces are best equipped to protect the public from acts of terrorism or domestic extremism, and to investigate and prosecute those responsible.
We deliver specialist support to police forces throughout the country, but in particular the five forces which make up the North West region: GMP, Merseyside, Lancashire, Cheshire and Cumbria.
The Unit draws on a wide range of expertise, including but not restricted to: skilled detectives, financial investigators, community contact teams, intelligence analysts, forensic specialists and high-tech investigators.
