Established in April 2007, CTPNW exists as one of five Counter Terrorism Units (CTU\'s) within a National Counter Terrorism Policing (NCTP) framework, designed to strengthen the UK\'s response to the threat from terrorism. The threat we face, not just here in the NW but across the UK, is diverse and manifests itself in different forms, from International to Northern Ireland-related Terrorism and, increasingly, Domestic and Far Right Extremism.
