Crowded Places – Major Events
Major Events are important part of the culture in the United Kingdom raising our counties profile across the world, demonstrating our ability to manage, organise and promote international events. Recent terrorist attacks across the world show how vulnerable high profile venues and events can be used to perpetrate such incidents for maximum impact across the globe.
NaCTSO has researched and produced a guidance booklet on Counter Terrorism Protective Security Advice for Major Events (1.4mb pdf), seeking to identify simple and effective advise suitable for all events and venues. The principles and procedures are based on recommendations derived from the experience of experts, aiming to reduce the risk for both visitors and staff through knowledge and learning.
Planning and preparation for such events can often take months if not years, an early understanding of the security issues involved, can not only save time but reduce costs by incorporating identified measures before advanced plans are developed.
Each event will be unique for site specific advice relating to your venue, contact your Counter Terrorism Security Advisor (CTSA) through your local police service.
