Marble Arch BID has partnered with the Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Policing team and the West End Security Group to deliver a training session designed specifically for Marble Arch BID member businesses.

Whether your premises fall within scope of Martyn’s Law or not, this session gives you practical, locally relevant guidance on understanding the threat picture, planning your response and knowing what support is available to you. It has been shaped around the realities of the Marble Arch landscape, so the advice you take away will be directly applicable to your business and your staff.
