The Met’s Roads and Transport Policing Command (RTPC) is launching its own dedicated Project Servator team to make it even more difficult for terrorists and other criminals to operate across London’s roads and transport hubs

The new RTPC Project Servator officers will be on roads, on buses, at bus stations, bus stops and transport interchanges. They will also conduct regular vehicle checks at key locations across the capital. During deployments, they can also be positioned in CCTV control rooms to monitor activity. These officers are supported by a range of other police resources such as Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), firearms officers and sniffer dogs.

At the same time, officers will speak to people in and around the places they deploy to, including business owners and staff, community partners and members of the public to encourage them to be our extra eyes and ears and report anything that does not feel right.
