Security Advisers

Suffolk Police, together with police forces throughout the United Kingdom, are better trained and equipped than ever to combat the threat of international and domestic terrorism. As part of the ongoing counter terrorism strategy, the police has dedicated Counter Terrorism Security Advisers (CTSAs).

The role of these advisers is to provide protective and counter terrorism security advice to support businesses in the following areas: 

• Risk assessments and vulnerability surveys of crowded places
• Physical security measures
• Bomb threat response
• Mail handling procedures
• Business continuity and contingency planning
• Transportation of dangerous goods
• Secure storage of pathogens, toxins and radiological materials chemical, biological, radioactive and nuclear protective security.

The CTSAs can also provide awareness training, free of charge, to individual companies or groups of businesses on subjects such as hostile reconnaissance, and preparedness for dealing with and recovering from a terrorist attack.
