With the U.K.'s Home Office having just issued a restricted counter-terrorism local profile (CTLP) to Waltham Forest, a borough of northeast London set to host a section of the Olympic Park and a visitor campsite for the games this summer. The demands for Close Protection and Asset Security have increased tenfold.   According to the CTLP, the area faces "a high-level threat" from al-Qaida-inspired males between the ages of 20 and 38.

The report is the latest indication of many U.K. officials becoming concerned about the potential for a homegrown terrorist attack during the London games, particularly attacks by perpetrators acting alone because they can be more difficult to detect.

Asset Protection & Close Protection will be in very high demand in London this summer and we at TRM are ready for ever increasing demands for our services.  We have set up a dedicated recruitment page on our website and have started scheduling rotations back to the UK for our Close Protection teams currently deployed overseas.
