A.C.T.
Action Counter-Terrorism.
How They Got Started
ACT replaces an older initiative called “Project Griffin,” by the City of London Police (CoLP) and the Metropolitan Police (MPS). The terrorist attacks on New York and Washington on 11 September 2001 highlighted the evolving nature of the terrorist threat that Western countries would be facing for over a decade and are still combating today.
Their Mission
The initiative aimed at fostering security awareness across the capital’s business community through effective and timely information-sharing with law enforcement. Established in April 2004 as a pilot joint venture between business.
There are many benefits to this accreditation, with the majority of ARK’s services being undertaken outside of most people’s normal business hours, we are well placed to observe and report any unusual or suspicious activity.
ARK: Alarm Response & Keyholding hold this accreditation.
ARM Secure
ARM Secure specialise in providing professional Keyholding and Alarm Response Monitoring services across the UK to secure your home or business and ensure the safety of your family and staff.
More about ACT
The e-learning includes interactive video scenarios and instructional tutorials, combined with visual and audio footage, to create engaging learning, with modules covering key areas such as identifying security vulnerabilities, responding to suspicious behaviour, dealing with a suspicious item, how to deal with a bomb threat, and responding to firearms or weapons attacks.
Within three months of launching the e-learning, it had reached over 1,200 businesses, comparing favourably with the previous approach (Project Griffin) that had engaged with 400 businesses over two years.
ARK believe in training all of our employees, however, the training can also be accessed for free by you and your employees via an e-learning platform, counter-terrorism police website or the official A.C.T. website.
