Officers from Bromley took part in a major two week pan-London operation to increase awareness of security and counter terrorism policing in London during January.
The initiative - known as Operation Penna - was the second operation of its kind run by the Metropolitan Police Service. The first was held in December 2012 and involved coordinated activity focussed on reminding the public, as well as police officers and staff, of the vital role we all can play in protecting London from terrorism. Activity took place across all 32 boroughs between 13 - 24 January, with tactics including high visibility patrols around crowded places such as shopping centres and transport hubs, and briefings to businesses. Officers held 537 external briefings, with a total audience of 11,390 people, providing information explaining the ongoing threat from terrorism and what can be done to protect the capital against it.
The operation was coordinated by the Counter Terrorism Protective Security Command (SO20) in partnership with local policing colleagues across the MPS.
