Operation Nicole
This article is part of the Counter-Terrorism Portal project of Spinwatch. |
Operation Nicole is an initiative that was developed by the Lancashire Constabulary and recommended for wider use by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO). [1]
National Community Tension Team, under the directorship of the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO). The objective of the Operation is to:
"give the police an insight into the community impact of counter terrorist policing, and give community members an insight into the decisions that the police have to make during investigations".[2]
The Lokahi Foundation, which has been involved in facilitating Operation Nicole, understands the objective to be:
"a joint community/police training event generating intensive dialogue between a national police body and members of the Muslim communities. The aim is for each to understand what it feels like to be in the others’ shoes and have to take key decisions, especially when it all starts to fall apart."[3]
