Marauding Terrorist Attacks (MTA)
NPSA and NaCTSO have developed a series of guides to help your organisation assess the risk and implement a range protective security mitigations. These guides are based on analysis and learning from MTAs that have taken place, live simulations of attacks and exercises and feedback undertaken with businesses
Responding to Terrorist Incidents – Developing Effective Command and Control
This guidance provides information on how to prepare those working in an SCR for dealing with a terrorist incident. It is focused on the period where an attack has been discovered and the immediate aftermath of the attack (i.e. Incident Response and Incident Management).
Video Surveillance, Access Control, Detection & Control Rooms
Physical security technologies often converge into a security control room and, while individual technologies may be working, the control room may not be effectively using this information.
This link gives information on these technologies along with guidance on the effective running of a Security Control Room.
First Aid – The role of Security Control Rooms during a terrorist attack
Information on how the delivery of effective command and control during a terrorist attack can save lives through the identification and treatment of those with life threatening injuries. It is intended for general Security Control Rooms (SCR) without trained medical professionals who can co-ordinate the first aid response before the arrival of emergency services.
