Emergency services in Nottinghamshire will conduct a large-scale exercise simulating a major terrorism incident at Trent Bridge cricket ground. The national event, coordinated by Counter Terrorism Policing East Midlands (CTPEM), aims to test the response of police, ambulance, and firefighters to challenging situations. The exercise is not in response to any specific threat but is part of a regular nationwide training program.
Emergency services will be testing their response to a major terrorism incident in a large-scale operation at Trent Bridge in Nottinghamshire. The cricket ground in West Bridgford is hosting the national event on Monday, January 27, which is being coordinated by Counter Terrorism Policing East Midlands .
The scenario will "test the way police and partners react to challenging, dynamic situations", including ambulance and firefighters, who would also have key roles in the event of a terror incident, Nottinghamshire Police said. The force said the exercise is not in response to any specific threat or intelligence but is part of a regular testing and exercising programme nationwide.
“This type of training is an integral part of policing and ensures that we deliver a robust response if we are ever faced with a terrorist incident," said assistant chief constable Suk Verma. “Simply, this is about protecting the public and ensuring that we have a strong and efficient response in order to protect life.
Regional assistant chief constable Diane Coulson said: “Not only do exercises such as this help to ensure all services understand each other’s roles, but they also provide an opportunity to highlight areas where learnings can be identified and adopted. These can then be shared with teams up and down the country so that we are all aligned in our response.
“Fortunately, terror incidents are rare, however we are better prepared than ever to respond when required." The threat to the UK from terrorism remains at ‘Substantial’.
