ProjectServator

Director Mark Thorburn recently attended the launch of Project Servator at The 152nd Open in Troon. #ProjectServator is a policing tactic that aims to disrupt a range of criminal activity, including terrorism, while providing a reassuring presence for the public. Key to the success of Project Servator is the support of security partners like ourselves, businesses and the general public to be extra eyes and ears for the Police, reporting anything that doesn’t seem right, to help make it even harder for criminals to succeed.
