Collaboration to counter the terrorist threat from drones
Protecting the public from acts of terrorism requires a multi-agency partnership approach with each organisation bringing its expertise to bear in concert with others.
To counter the threat effectively, all in authority are now required to broaden their knowledge and understanding of terrorism as a concept.
Developing an understanding of terrorism will ensure that all professional practitioners are better prepared to protect the public from a diverse range of terrorist related activity.
