250,000 now plugged in to security advice through ACT App

The National Counter Terrorism Security Office has announced that 250,000 individuals have now downloaded the ACT App to access up to date security information and guidance direct to their mobile phones.

The government has stressed that defeating terrorism requires a collective community effort where police, security staff, venue stewards and the public come together to help keep everyone safe. As lockdown restrictions continue to ease and people are able to enjoy indoor hospitality and attend larger events, now is the time to assess whether your staff and customers are primed to remain vigilant and ACT if they see or hear something that doesn’t feel quite right.

Counter Terrorism Policing has also updated its Easing Lockdown Vigilance Campaign Toolkit to ensure relevance for events planned across the summer. With all the messaging and materials that a business may need to help keep everyone safe, it now includes situationally specific messaging and bespoke assets designed for use surrounding the EUROs championship football games, UK music festivals and indoor hospitality.
