Central Scotland Police

Counter Terrorism Security Advisers

Central Scotland Police, together with police forces throughout the United Kingdom, is better trained and equipped than ever before to combat the threat of international and domestic terrorism.

The force, as part of the national counter terrorism strategy ('CONTEST'), has dedicated Counter Terrorism Security Advisers (CTSAs) who are coordinated, trained and tasked by the National Counter Terrorism Security Office (NaCTSO). NaCTSO is a specialist police organisation co-located with the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI).

The primary role of these advisers is to provide counter terrorism protective security advice to businesses. The advice provided takes into account both conventional and non-conventional terrorist techniques, with the aim of reducing vulnerability to terrorist threats. The CTSAs work closely with other police forces throughout the country, government departments, and other agencies.

The public can play a key role in supporting the police. By remaining vigilant, being security minded, and having good security measures in place, you can protect your business, staff and customers against crime and make the work of terrorists more difficult.

For non-urgent crime prevention advice, businesses can contact their local police Community Safety Officers. However, if you feel that your company could benefit from counter terrorism protective security advice you can contact the CTSAs as follows:
