Counter Terrorism Policing’s Winter Campaign: Stay Alert and Keep Each Other Safe

Counter Terrorism Policing is launching its annual winter campaign to encourage the public to remain vigilant and report anything unusual or concerning. Running from 25 September 2024 to 3 January 2025, this campaign aims to create awareness and promote safety in our communities.

As we enter a busy winter season filled with Christmas shopping, festive markets, pantomimes, and concerts, it’s essential for all of us to play our part in keeping each other safe.

You can support the campaign by sharing its key messages with your customers, visitors, and staff. Encourage them to stay alert and report anything that feels off. Together, we can make our communities safer.

Below are free assets you can use to support the campaign. These include posters, social media templates, and more.

If you have questions about using the toolkit, email NCTPQ.Comms@met.police.uk.

How You Can Help

• Sharing Social Media Content: Post or share our campaign messages on your social media channels using #CommunitiesDefeatTerrorism.

• Internal Communications: Use our materials in emails, newsletters, and other internal channels to educate your staff on staying alert.

• Engaging Local Partners: Encourage local businesses and partners to use the toolkit.

All campaign materials have been tested with the public, and the feedback shows that they are effective in reassuring and encouraging people to report suspicious behaviour.
