Counter Terrorism Training: Project Servator

The Quarter’s businesses took part in a security overview delivered as part of Project Servator last week. Project Servator is a partnership between the Police, our Street Team, businesses and the public to deter, detect and disrupt hostile reconnaissance (the collection of information by those planning hostile activity) by terrorists and other criminals, while providing a reassuring presence.

The training covered hostile mindset, hostile reconnaissance, business vigilance and joined up action. This was followed by an active deployment along Baker Street of uniformed and plain clothed police officers shadowed by our members and Street Team. The deployment engaged with the public, monitored people’s behaviour and demonstrated the ‘power of hello’ to our businesses.

It was a great opportunity for our businesses to see the Police in action, create stronger partnerships and understand more about counter terrorism work. Find out more about Project Servator here. Alternatively you can find out more about our own Safe and Cared For programme, especially designed to increase the area’s resilience, here.
