Identifying and reporting potential terrorist activity

As you may be aware, the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC) has taken the decision to raise the UK National Threat Level from substantial to severe.

Counter Terrorism Policing and The Home Office have asked Councils to share some key messages with local businesses to help increase awareness of the role that everyone can play in identifying and reporting potential terrorist activity.

Businesses are being encouraged to:

• visit the Counter Terrorism Policing website for information and materials you can use
• speak to the police about any concerns they have

If you see something that doesn’t look right, report in confidence at gov.uk/ACT. You won’t be wasting anyone’s time. Communities Defeat Terrorism.
