🤔 Don't assume a phone call is authentic just because they know your name. #CourierFraud often targets vulnerable and elderly people via calls to their landline or mobile telephones from withheld numbers from someone purporting to be a police officer or figure of authority. The criminal then proceeds to inform the victim of fraudulent activity on their bank account and sometimes claims that their bank staff are involved to deter them from contacting the bank another way. The criminal then often directs the victim to attend their local bank to withdraw a large amount of cash and to return home where it will be collected by a police courier for examination – who is actually a criminal associate. Alternatively, the criminal asks the victim to handover their bank card and personal information to that same courier. Work at the #NEROCU continues to pursue fraudsters and bring them to justice, but officers are also determined to make sure the public feel confident and capable of challenging scammers to help catch them in the act and report them in real time. We want to empower victims and raise awareness of the complex scams being used to dupe people out of their hard earned cash. No reputable organisation will mind if you take your time, challenge them, or ask for proof and hang up. If in doubt, speak to someone you trust, drop into your local bank or call the number given on your official bank statement. If you’re sent a link by text or email don’t click it, report it. 📲 For help and advice visit the #ActionFraud website. If you need to report a crime or suspicious activity please speak to your local police force.

Despite political protests, railway sabotage and gender controversies, Paris 2024 finished in a safe and successful way. Security at large events, such as the 2024 Olympics, is crucial to ensuring the safety of participants, spectators, and organisers. With the global attention the Olympics attracts, it becomes a prime target for potential threats, including terrorism and cyberattacks. Robust security measures are essential to prevent incidents that could disrupt the event, endanger lives, and damage the country's reputation. Well done France for a fantastic and safe event. https://lnkd.in/e5_9zHH8 #Security #Securityexperts #Olympics2024

In 2023, the top region for requests for help was South and Central Asia (SCA), with 5,445 individuals seeking assistance; 70% of these requests came from Afghans located in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Türkiye due to the ongoing impacts of Taliban rule in Afghanistan. Rainbow Railroad categorizes individuals requesting help into the following status types within their country of request: citizen, permanent resident, temporary resident, no legal status, asylum seeker, and UNHCR registered refugee. This information is important for informing our advocacy with governments and multilateral agencies, as we are able to identify the specific barriers our clients face when navigating the global asylum system. Read our annual report to learn more about the individuals reaching out for support. https://lnkd.in/epZkw-Ef

China's Ministry of National Defence has announced that the PLA's Western Theater Command will send troops to Pakistan to take part in a joint anti-terrorism exercise known as "Warrior-VIII," to be held between late November and mid-December. The exercise will focus on collaborative counter-terrorism strategies, strike maneuvers, and live combat simulations. It will feature multi-tier and mixed training in many specialties to boost real-world operational readiness for both nations. This is the eighth joint exercise in the "Warrior" series that started in 2004. The last such drill took place in 2019, thereby proving that both China and Pakistan have had an unbroken long-term military relationship. According to the Ministry of National Defence, this year's drills mark the intent to pursue strong bilateral military cooperation and enhance joint counter-terrorism capabilities. . . . #ChinaPakistan #WarriorVIII #CounterTerrorism #PLA #PakistanArmy #MilitaryCooperation #JointExercises #AntiTerrorism #ChinaPakistanRelations #DefensePartnership #MilitaryTraining #OperationalReadiness #CombatSimulation #BilateralTies #RegionalSecurity #Tribunetrends

Robing pilot begins at Central Family Court: From Monday 15 April 2024, in a pilot intended to explore the impact of increased formality in family courts, judges sitting at Central Family Court will wear robes during proceedings. This follows concern about incidents of violent and threatening behaviour experienced by judges and court users. Unlike in criminal proceedings, robes are not normally worn by judges in family courts. Judges in the pilot will not wear wigs, and practitioners will not be expected to wear robes. The pilot has been approved by Sir Andrew McFarlane, the President of the Family Division, and it will run for an initial three-month period. A survey will be conducted before, during and after the pilot to assess if robing makes a difference to family court proceedings. This evaluation will consider the number of behavioural incidents experienced and judges’ perceptions of their own authority and safety.
