How to foil a terror plot

from The Crime Agents

No one ever forgets a terror attack. But what about the dozens which are foiled at the last minute? Or the threats which are stopped in their tracks months before they can become a reality? In this episode, Neil reveals the most memorable attack he ever thwarted in his time as Head of Counter Terrorism Policing, and the details of how police, MI5 and GCHQ work together to stop terrorists from committing mass murder. Meanwhile Andy explains how he too helped to uncover a terrorist cell in Manchester - and reminds Neil of the vital role the media can play in tackling terror threats. Plus, the pair react to Nigel Farage saying he wants police to look bigger and more intimidating. Would this help to make our streets safer? Should the public and criminals alike fear the police? Neil and Andy give their verdicts. Follow us on social media: @thecrimeagentsSend Andy and Neil a question to [email protected]
