Project Kraken encourages those who work in or enjoy Norfolk’s maritime environment to be extra vigilant to counter the threat of terrorism.

By working with local communities and partners, Project Kraken aims to prevent and deter terrorist groups and criminals from operating in the county’s waters while making our harbours, ports and coastline safer for those using it legitimately.

Through enhanced counter terrorism awareness and sharing information, Norfolk’s waters can continue to be safe.

 

How does Project Kraken work?

The Project Kraken reporting number is 101.

You can report suspicious activity or behaviour that you think may be linked to acts (or preparatory acts) of terrorism or crime within the maritime environment.

It is impossible to say what a terrorist might look like. However, an individual’s activity or behaviour can become suspicious in the context of the location they are in.

Likewise, the unexpected or unusual presence of a vessel or a particular cargo within a small port or marina might concern those who live, work or relax in that particular environment on a regular basis.

The Project Kraken reporting line provides a central point of contact for the collation, assessment and analysis of all information relating to suspicious activity or behaviour that could be linked to terrorism or crime.

Following analysis of the information, Norfolk Constabulary and partners will be in a strong position to deploy assets and resources appropriately in response to a potential or defined threat.

What do we ask of you?

Quite simply, call the Project Kraken reporting number whenever you see any activity or behaviour that you feel is suspicious and which may be connected with acts (or preparatory acts) of terrorism or serious crime.

At times of heightened risk, we may contact you with a specific report or request for assistance in ‘observing and reporting’ for a particular individual, group, vehicle or vessel.

If you suspect it, report it. Call 101 and quote Project Kraken.

Remember – if you see a crime occurring always call 999.
