Counter Terrorism Security Advisor
BREEAM UK New Construction, Non-domestic Buildings (United Kingdom), Technical Manual, SD5078: BREEAM UK New Construction 2018 3.0, published by BRE Global Limited, suggests that:
Counter Terrorism Security Advisors (CTSA’s): ‘…receive specialist training allowing them to identify and assess sites within their police force area that are deemed critical and may be vulnerable to terrorist or extremist attack. They then devise appropriate security plans to minimise impact on that site and the surrounding community. They also have responsibility for the protection afforded to crowded places (areas which by virtue of their crowd density may be liable to terrorist attack).'
