LANDLORDS can learn about tackling terrorism at an event tomorrow (Tuesday, September 16).

The National Landlords Association (NLA) is inviting landlords in Darlington and the surrounding area to its next branch meeting to discuss terrorism and how to tackle it.

Steven Holder, an officer with Durham Police, will discuss Prevent – one of the four elements that make up the Government’s post 9/11 counter-terrorism strategy, known as Contest.

Mr Simpson said: “Landlords must be aware that private housing can be targeted by criminals of all kinds so it’s important that we all know what steps we can take to help combat terrorism and make the community safer.

“This meeting is a great example of collaborative working between local landlords and the police to benefit the area, and it will also provide essential advice on how to lawfully regain possession of a property as swiftly and successfully as possible.”

The free event takes place at Darlington Fire Station tomorrow (Tuesday, September 16) from 7pm.
