Project Servator

Project Servator aims to deter, detect and disrupt a range of criminal activity, including terrorism, while providing a reassuring presence for the public.

It sees highly-visible yet unpredictable police deployments in and around Birmingham Airport. They can happen anywhere and at any time.

They involve both uniformed and plain-clothed officers, supported by a range of other resources such as armed officers, police dogs, vehicle check-points, a network of CCTV cameras, security staff and airport retailers we work in partnership with.

One of the key elements of Project Servator is unpredictability, so don’t be surprised if you see our officers pop up at various times and locations across the whole airport.

They are here to keep you safe. Please speak to us if you have any questions.

What we need you to do

You have an important role to play in helping us by reporting anything that doesn’t feel right, for example an unattended item or someone acting suspiciously.

You can report anything suspicious to officers who are out and about. Alternatively you can call us:

• Crimes that have already been committed can be reported on 101
• Crimes that are in progress, or any threat to a person or property, should always be reported to us by calling 999 immediately
• You can report anything anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111

We also need you to remain vigilant while out and about, and to follow national ACT (Action Counters Terrorism) guidance. More information on what to look out for and how to contact police can be found by visiting the government website.
