A Primer On Public Safety Communication in the Context of Terror Attacks: The NATO SPS “COUNTER-TERROR” Project

Terrorism is emerging as one of the most serious threats worldwide. Terrorist attacks are becoming more coordinated, sophisticated and hence more devastating. One of the important reasons for higher casualities is the “sluggish response time”. In some of the recent attacks, police and law enforcement agencies even after many hours were unable to have some of the basic information such as how many people are inside the attacked premises, the number of seriously injured persons, the number of terrorists, what their location is and so on.
