Project ARGUS is a National Counter Terrorism Security Office initiative, exploring ways to help you in preventing, handling and recovering from a terrorist attack.

It achieves this by taking businesses through a simulated terrorist attack. The simulation identifies the measures to take for preventing, handling and recovering from a terrorist attack.

This simulation provides you with a unique opportunity to both learn from and contribute to valuable lessons helping to protect you, your business and your community, whether you are a national chain or a small business.

The event explores your options; what is likely to happen in the event of a terrorist attack; and what your priorities should be. Project Argus highlights the importance of being prepared and having the necessary plans in place to help safeguard your staff, customers and your company assets.

 

What can you expect?

Project Argus is a free event facilitated by Counter Terrorism Security Advisors (CTSA) which takes you through a terrorist attack using a multi-media simulation. A series of questions and challenges are put to you, both individually and as a group.

You will work in small syndicate groups with other local business representatives and develop your responses to the attack. The whole event including a coffee break will last three hours. CTSAs are willing to arrange bespoke events if the full event is too long.
