Counter-Terrorism Police Urge Public Vigilance
“We will always act on concerns raised and will thoroughly investigate each case,” said Detective Inspector Lennane of Counter-Terrorism South West.
“Counter-terrorism policing can’t protect society alone. Friends and family are often best placed to spot warning signs. Trust your instincts and raise concerns early. You won’t be wasting our time—you might save lives.”
