Project Griffin Awareness Day

 

Project Griffin was formally introduced in April 2004 as a Pan London project to bring together the Police

(Metropolitan and City of London), local authorities, private sector security industry, London Fire Brigade,

London Ambulance Service and other agencies in order to coordinate effort by working together to deter,

disrupt and support pro-active operations regarding terrorist/extremist activity within London. 

 

Since its original launch Project Griffin has been identified nationally as good practice and is now well

established in a number of Police Force areas around the country.

 

Project Griffin aims to encourage members of the community to work in partnership with the police to deter

and detect terrorist activity and crime.  This will be achieved by working with the community to:-

 

  • Raise awareness of current terrorist and crime issues;

  • Share and gather intelligence and information;

  • Build and maintain effective working relationships;

  • Seek solutions for defeating terrorism and crime;

  • Maintain trust and confidence in the Police and other authorities;

  • Empower people to report suspicious activity and behavior.

 

Project Griffin aims to work with people who are involved in some way with the safety and security of a building/business/area and to empower them to recognise and report suspicious activity and behaviour

to the police.  The Awareness Day also serves to help people think about their own local procedures and

processes for dealing with certain types of incident during times of emergency.

 

Each Police Force will determine the content of their Awareness Day.  Topics such as:-

 

  • Special Branch update on current threat;

  • Vehicle/Person Borne Improvised Devices;

  • Crime Scene Management;

  • Hostile Reconnaissance;

  • Current crime trends and methods of operation;

  • Consequence Management

 

are all areas which provide interesting and informative sessions. 

 

For further information on the awareness day please contact Ian.Mansfield@cityoflondon.police.uk or
