Working with Counter Terrorism Security Advisers

Counter-terrorism security advisers work with businesses and the community to identify and assess sites that may be vulnerable to terrorist or extremist attack.

They also work with trade organisations and professional bodies to ensure counter-terrorism protective security advice is incorporated in general crime prevention advice and guidance.

Businesses should contact their local CTSA for advice and support. 

Working with businesses

CTSAs work with businesses to: *devise and develop appropriate protective security plans to minimise impact on their sites and the surrounding community *explain the threats from terrorism and advise on resilience 

CTSAs are trained in specialist areas and can provide advice and guidance on: * explosives and precursor chemicals * pathogens and toxins * radiological sources * site and vulnerable point surveying * integrated security systems * designing out vehicle borne terrorism * threat from CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear) attack 

They are also responsible for the protective security of crowded places (areas where there may be large crowds who could be vulnerable to terrorist attack) for example shopping centres, sporting stadia, pubs and bars or transport hubs.

CTSAs can also advise on the following initiatives.
