Counter Terrorism Advice for Businesses
Terrorism is just one of the many risks communities and businesses may face, so making simple plans to cover a whole range of emergencies is important.
Do you have security staff?
West Midlands Police provide the Project Griffin series for security personnel. This is a one-day programme for security personnel to raise awareness of counter terrorism measures. It includes details on the current terrorist threat, presentations by explosives officers, emergency services command and control structures, hostile reconnaissance and cordon management.
Security personnel trained in Project Griffin are deployed in the event of a major incident to assist the police in maintaining cordons.
The project was jointly launched by the City of London Police and the Metropolitan Police service in conjunction with the security industry in the Summer of 2004. Over 400 security personnel across Birmingham have so far been involved.
If you would like to be involved or would like more information on Project Griffin please call 0121 626 6099 or e-mail F1_op_griffin@west-midlands.pnn.police.uk.
