Wilson’s punctuality and professional standards have not faltered due to travel nor due to adapting to differing client requirements, he always follows our staff protocols helping to ensure the client receives the high level of service expected from our company. Well Done, Wilson!!
If you’ve seen or heard something that could suggest a terrorist threat to the UK - do not ignore it, report it. In an emergency, or if you need urgent police assistance, you should always dial 999. Our greatest line of defence is when the public and the police work together. The BVRLA and its members continue to cooperate and work closely with law enforcement organisations on matters relating to security threats and best practice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsCiAQXQTgc&feature=youtu.be

In the UK the Police Service and partners work very hard to keep us safe from the threat of guncrime. Firearms and weapons attacks are thankfully extremely rare, but we must always know to do stay safe. What would you do if you came under fire or heard gunshots at work or in public? Should you stay and hide, or run for the nearest exit? Would you know what to do to stay safe? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYPyZ3ErFy0&feature=youtu.be
Hidden? Has it been concealed or hidden from View? Bombs are unlikely to be left in locations such as this – where any unattended items will be noticed quickly. Obviously suspicious? Dose it has wires, circuits boards, batteries, tape or putty-like substances? Do you think the item poses an immediate threat to life? Typical? Is the item typical of what you would expect to find in this location? Most lost property is found in locations where people congregate.

The focus on this campaign is to keep the public alert and confident enough to come forward and report concerns. National lead for CT Policing, Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu, says: Since launching the ACT: Action Counters Terrorism campaign, all forces have worked to show communities how they can make a difference. This, along with innovative collaborations with key sectors like retail, vehicle industry, sport and entertainment, has contributed to a steady increase in the number of intelligence reports that have been of help to CT Policing. Please share the campaign’s key messages with all your contacts. This is not a campaign for CT specialists only or just for big cities. Any attack carried out impacts on the resources of policing across the board so we are urging all forces and our partners to play their part. Remember, terrorists across the globe continue to show interest in police targets. We cannot afford to relax our
