Events in the Middle East have, in the past, had repercussions in the way terrorist threats manifest in Europe and other western countries.
From a UK policing perspective, law enforcement is seeing the impact of the Israel Hamas conflict through several high-profile protests in UK cities and a marked increase in hate crime reporting.
The UK terrorism threat level remains at Substantial, meaning an attack is likely and everyone has a role in keeping the UK safe.
The BVRLA would like to remind Rental and Commercial Vehicle members that they are signed up to the principles of the Rental Vehicle Security Scheme (RVSS) as part of membership of the association.
This BVRLA Security and Counter Terrorism guidance page gives details of the scheme and free staff training resources available.
Should you or your staff be concerned about suspicious activity, people, or potential hate crime it is important that you report the details to your local police force.
