Officers encourage public to stay vigilant this winter

With a winter season full of events, such as Christmas shopping, festive markets, pantomimes and concerts, we all have a role to play in keeping each other safe.

That’s why Counter Terrorism Policing is once again running its annual winter campaign to encourage the public to stay alert and report anything that doesn’t feel right.

You can help by sharing our campaign messages with your communities, customers, visitors and staff that encourages them to stay alert for anything that doesn’t feel right and report any concerns.

We want to make sure as many people feel reassured, stay alert and report their concerns this winter season. You can play a powerful role in helping us to reach even more people with these important messages.

“Though it is an exciting time for our communities with an increased number of public events and celebrations, it’s important we all play our part in protecting each other.

“That’s why we want to make sure everyone stays alert this winter and reports anything that doesn’t feel quite right.
