the metropolitan police’s newest counter-terrorism idea? turn neighbours into informants. the slogan: “You don’t have to be sure. If you suspect it, report it.”

If you think that you may have seen something suspicious or you are unsure about somebody’s activities or behaviour, however insignificant it may seem at the time, call the Anti-Terrorist hotline on xxxx xxx xxx.

The terrorist threat remains real and there is no room for complacency. The public should remain alert and aware of their surrounding at all times. If something strikes you as suspicious and out of place then trust your instincts and call the police.
