The National Counter Terrorism Security Office (NaCTSO) is a police unit co- located with the Centre for the Protection of the National Infrastructure (CPNI).
NaCTSO contributes to the UK government’s counter terrorism strategy (CONTEST) by supporting the Protect and Prepare strands of that strategy.
Their staff can offer specialist advice regarding the security of explosives and pre-cursor chemicals (including fertilisers), pathogens and toxins, radiological sources and other toxic chemicals.
They also provide guidance in relation to business continuity, designing out vehicle borne terrorism, the protection of crowded places and reducing opportunities for terrorism through environmental design.
Crowded Places
The threat the United Kingdom faces from international terrorism is a
seamless one. It is no longer easily divided into foreign affairs, defence
or domestic affairs. It is one where the capabilities of those who seek to
attack the United Kingdom and its communities are significant and
potentially increasing.
