Project Argus Events

Protecting Against Terrorist Attack

What is Project Argus?

Project ARGUS is a National Counter Terrorism Security Office (NaCTSO) initiative, exploring ways to aid you in preventing, handling and recovering from a terrorist attack.

It achieves this by taking businesses through a simulated terrorist attack. The simulation identifies the measures to take for preventing, handling and recovering from a terrorist attack.

What you can expect?

Argus is a completely free event, which takes you through a realistic terrorist attack using a multi-media simulation. A series of questions and challenges are put to you, both individually and as a group, with the task of working together to resolve them. You will work in small syndicate groups with other local business representatives. The whole event, including a refreshments break will last three hours.

There are two different types of Argus event; one is aimed at the Retail Sector and the second at the Night Time Economy Sector.
