Project Griffin was developed by the City of London Police and formally introduced in London in April 2004 as a joint venture between the City and Metropolitan police forces. Its remit was to advise and familiarise managers, security officers and employees of large public and private sector organisations across the capital on security, counter-terrorism and crime prevention issues.
Following its unqualified success in London, Project Griffin is increasingly being adopted by other police forces, cities and communities across the United Kingdom. It has also generated interest and acclaim overseas, particularly in the United States, Hong Kong and Australia.
Although Project Griffin has been active on Westminster Borough for the last five years, the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) are currently running a six month pilot to deliver the project to other Boroughs within the capital.
The aim of the pilot is to determine if Project Griffin is suitable for wider MPS roll out.
There are three pilot sites namely Islington, Kingston and Safer Transport Command with London Buses. For more information please contact the coordinator, PC Helen Scammell by email on mpsprojectgriffin@met.police.uk
