TASSA Registered Installation companies and their installers can be the eyes and ears within our communities and transport networks. They often operate in and around the UK installing vehicle aftermarket systems for their customers. It is therefore important that they are aware of the threat from terrorism in the UK and that they understand how to recognise and respond to incidents and suspicious behaviours and activities should they occur.

 

To support this, we recommend that installers and support staff undertake the ACT e-Learning package. This counter terrorism awareness product contains advice and activities across a variety of modules, including: Introduction to Counter Terrorism, Identifying Security Vulnerabilities and How to Identify and Respond to Suspicious Behaviour. The package can be completed on smartphones and tablets in around an hour and is free.

​

We would also recommend that installers and their organisations utilise the ProtectUK platform and App.

 

This platform provides a single point of reference to understand terrorism threats and appropriate responses and includes a function for reporting suspicious activity to the authorities.
