Guidance After Recent Terrorist Events in Europe
Following the recent shocking events in Paris, it is important
to highlight that the threat level to the UK from international
terrorism remains at
SEVERE, which means an attack is highly likely. The UK has been
operating at this level since August 2014 and it is important that
following these events all communities remain alert but not
alarmed. We are advising the public not to be concerned
about the things they are unable to control, but instead to focus
on what they can do that will make a difference, and to make sure
they know where to get information from the police in a crisis;
whether it’s through social media or more traditional ways such as
radio and TV.
Be Vigilant and Report Suspicious Behaviour
Police act on information from the public who report suspicious
behaviour. “If you suspect it, report it” by contacting police
directly by either contacting 999 if urgent or 101 with
information.
