Counter terrorism security advisors

What do they do?

Our counter terrorism security advisors (CTSAs), identify and assess local sites within our policing area that might be vulnerable to terrorist or extremist attack.

Their next step is to devise and develop appropriate protective security plans to minimise impact on that site and the surrounding community.

They work closely with representatives of trade organisations and professional bodies to ensure counter terrorism protective security advice is incorporated in general crime prevention regimes.

 Training of CTSAs

CTSAs receive comprehensive specialist training in areas including explosives and pre-cursor chemicals, pathogens and toxins, radiological sources, site and vulnerable point surveying, business continuity and disaster recovery, information and personnel security, integrated security systems, designing out vehicle borne terrorism and the threat from CBRN attack.
