Abstract

Events in Europe in the last year have shown there is a realistic threat to public safety in the UK from shooting, stabbing and bombing incidents. In an interview with BBC on 31 July 2016, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner stated that an attack within UK was a case of 'when not if'. citizenAID empowers the public to take action to save lives and thereby enhance national resilience.
