Following the Nice attack, the police and the security and intelligence agencies took steps to review our own security measures, to ensure that we had robust plans and procedures in place to ensure the safety and security of the public from terrorist threats.

All police forces reviewed upcoming events taking place in their regions to ensure that security measures were appropriate and proportionate in light of events in Nice, and intelligence and threat reporting. These operational activities (often working together with partner agencies) routinely seek to mitigate threats, or implement regimes to protect, detect and deter such attacks.
