Dec 14 - Community Leaders Briefed Under Project Servator

     - GCC assesses Threat Level for Gibraltar remains ‘Substantial’.

     - Gibraltar’s Community Leaders briefed on the Law Enforcement Agencies’ evolving Presence Profile to counter Terrorist Threats under Project Servator.

As co-chairs of The Gibraltar Contingency Council (GCC), His Excellency the Governor and the Deputy Chief Minister (deputising for the Chief Minister) met yesterday afternoon, to review security with particular emphasis on the risk assessments undertaken in respect of the forthcoming seasonal multi-faith events.

As a result, the threat level for Gibraltar remains ‘Substantial’- an attack remains a strong possibility; but there is, however, no specific intelligence to suggest an increase in the threat to Gibraltar or any of the forthcoming events.

The GCC will continue to closely monitor threat intelligence as it relates to Gibraltar, and Gibraltar’s Law Enforcement Agencies will continue to take the necessary measures to keep the Public safe by modifying their operational posture in light of the high-profile Public events over the coming seasonal events. Accordingly, the Public can expect to see a dynamic uniformed

Police presence to assure the security of these forthcoming Public events. The nature of the Law Enforcement Agencies’ ever-evolving presence profile, under Project Servator, was briefed to Gibraltar’s Community Leaders this afternoon in the John Macintosh Hall.

As ever, the Public are asked to remain vigilant and to report any security concerns to the Royal Gibraltar Police.
