Charlotte Rose

The Leader of the House of Commons has dismissed suggestions that MPs could be based in Yorkshire while the Palace of Westminster is repaired.
Last year the Public Accounts Committee said it would be the most economic and efficient option for MPs to move out so restoration work can be carried out.

It's called 'Project Servator', and involves the use of both visible and covert officers, as well as dogs, firearms teams , ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) and CCTV cameras in busy town centres and at large events.
NYP have revealed there were deployments at a number locations around York city centre today, as well as at the Designer Outlet, over a period of 3 hours.
Quote Message:
The aim of Project Servator is to combine effective police deployments with increased levels of vigilance within our communities, to deter, detect and ultimately disrupt a broad spectrum of criminality, everything from pick-pocketing to terrorism. These tactics are not in response to a specific threat or the recent tragic events in Westminster, but have been in the planning stages since September 2016."
