Scotland: Coordinator for Counter Terrorism: Scotland appointed a coordinator for counter-terrorism on 20 June. John Corrigan, the assistant chief constable of the Strathclyde police force, took up his position as "dedicated chief officer" after being appointed by the Association of Chief Police Officers in Scotland (ACPOS). He revealed that Scotland has established a permanent Guardian group of chief officers to coordinate the forces' responses to terrorist attacks. The Guardian group in England and Wales incorporates security services and the military but it Scotland it is said to comprise the chief constables and transport police. He said of Scotland's Guardian group: "It is not an exact replica of the Guardian group down south as it is just a policing body. It looks at coordinated response."
