Description
Description | Supported by the G20 Interfaith Forum, and being conducted by 5 Law Enforcement Agencies from Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Italy, and Sweden, the PROTECTOR project will design, develop and deliver the next generation of integrated measures to enhance the protection of all places of worship. Combining expertise from leading academic institutions and private sector organisations, the PROTECTOR project will significantly enhance the protection of places of worship through the assessment of hate crime and terrorism threats, examining protective security measures and Law Enforcement Agency responses. PROTECTOR will implement a protective security strategy, specifically designed for places of worship of all faiths, which will be delivered with protective security plans for 25 places of worship located in 5 EU member states. To enhance the situational awareness and investigative capability of Law Enforcement Agencies, new technology tools will be developed and tested at 15 places of worship in 3 EU member states. The PROTECTOR project will also develop Law Enforcement Agency, public authority and faith leadership protective security awareness expertise through the development and implementation of accessible training tools. The PROTECTOR project will also establish and strengthen cooperation between public authorities and faith- based leaders and congregations through the development and implementation of an engagement strategy, underpinned by the design and delivery of a security awareness raising campaign, encouraging the reporting of suspicious behaviour and the promotion of appropriate responses to threats. The collective sustainable impact of PROTECTOR outputs will significantly enhance the protection and preparedness of all places of worship across Europe, serving to increase the preventative and investigative capabilities of all EU Law Enforcement Agencies to better protect places of worship from all manner of hate crime, terrorism and emerging security threats. |
