On advice from the Joint Terrorist Analysis Centre (JTAC), the UK government has raised the UK Security Threat Level to Critical (highest possible level), meaning a further attack could be imminent.
The Trust and all other organisations have plans in place in the event of a major incident and is taking extra precautions and action in response to the raised threat level.
There is no intelligence to suggest there is going to be an attack locally or regionally, and at this time we won’t see military personnel on the streets of Lincolnshire.
If you would like to show your support for those lost in the recent Manchester terrorist attack you can sign an online book of condolence which has been set up here>>
Remain vigilant
People are being urged to remain alert and not alarmed. All emergency services are doing all they can to help protect the security of our communities.
You are asked to be aware of and actively promote the national anti-terrorism campaign called ACT – Action Counters Terrorism –speak to your families, friends and colleagues about it. See their website for details.
If you have any suspicions or concerns please report them to the Anti-Terrorist Hotline 0800 789 321.
In the extremely rare event of a firearms or terror attack the guidance is always to ‘Run, Hide and Tell’. You can read more about the Stay Safe campaign via their via their website here.
Terrorists want to create distrust and fear. Communities defeat terrorism, which is why we must all maintain a strong relationship between the public and police. The police depend on information from the public, who can be their eyes and ears, in the efforts to keep us all safe.
Thank you for your continued support at this challenging time.
