WHAT PARTICIPANTS SAY
Project Griffin seeks to enlist the help and support of individuals or groups from across our communities who are responsible for the safety and security of buildings, businesses, districts or neighbourhoods. Here recent attendees at Project Griffin Awareness Days share their thoughts on the programme and the impact it has made.
“I have done so many training courses in London, but to be honest this was the best of my life”, “Interesting and scary”, “Very scary and a lot of detail”, “Never be ashamed to call the police if you suspect something”, “Excellent course, brilliant speakers, top quality content.” Project Griffin Awareness Day attendees
“Today has been fantastic! This training is much needed and has been really well presented. It’s helped to enhance working relationships between both organisations. I would thoroughly recommend this awareness day.”
Barry Bishop, Customer Service Representative, British Transport Police
“This training has given me the tools to carry out my job with confidence. However, in the event of danger, I was advised to stay away from harm. My safety and that of my colleagues and the general public is of great importance.
The area that fascinated me most, which I am sure is germane to my job, was the examples of suspicious behaviour, for example, people asking detailed or unusual questions about buildings and business operations and facilities (such as room layouts).”
Tom Gbonda – Security Guard – Carillionplc and Nationwide
“I found the Project Griffin Awareness Day fascinating and motivating. As an Emergency Planning Officer, I understand the value of Project Griffin and work closely with police colleagues to promote it widely.

By attending the Awareness Day, I have up-to-date and accurate information on counter terrorism. Additionally, I gain an awareness of what Griffin-trained guards are able to do, so that, in the event of an emergency, I know where and how they can be deployed. It also important for the police and local authority to have the same information and deliver a consistent message to the public.”
Claire Whatley, Emergency Planning Office, City of London
