Project Servator

What is Project Servator?

Project Servator is a policing tactic that aims to reassure the public and deter criminality, including terrorism. If a deployment is happening where you are, there’s nothing to worry about.

Officers will speak to people and local businesses to let them know what they are doing. They will remind them to be vigilant, trust their instincts and report any suspicious or unusual behaviour.

You may also see officers handing out leaflets explaining what Project Servator is or posters on display. Working with the community is vital to making Project Servator a success.

Project Servator has been successful in gathering intelligence. It has helped Counter Terrorism Units investigate and prevent acts of terror. It has also resulted in arrests and helps remove firearms, knives and drugs from the streets.

What do we need you to do?

You have an important part to play.  Report anything that doesn’t feel right, for example an unattended item or someone acting suspiciously.

We’ll always take your report seriously.

• Tell a police officer or member of security or retail staff
• Call 101 (police non-emergency number)
• In an emergency, always call 999.
