Terrorism, weapons attacks and prevent

The national terrorist threat in the UK is currently "Severe", meaning that an attack is highly likely. 

There is no specific threat to Rugby, however all residents should remain vigilant and report any suspicious behaviour or activity on 0800 789 321 or at www.gov.uk/act (opens new tab). In an emergency always call 999.

Terror attacks are extremely rare. However, if you find yourself in the midst of an incident: Run; Hide; Tell.

Being prepared

Terrorist attacks in the UK are very rare, but we need to be prepared.

The National Police Chiefs' Council has issued this film which gives advice about what to do in the event of a terrorist attack, either at work or elsewhere.

Plan how you would respond to such a threat and stay safe.
