Details of how you can get involved with Project Kraken.What is Project Kraken?
Project Kraken delivers an enhanced crime and counter terrorist ‘vigilance’ capability within the maritime environment of the Solent. It engages key stakeholders together with local communities to provide a hostile environment to terrorists and criminals looking to disrupt the everyday lives and safety of those who live, work, or travel through the Solent Portal.
"Through enhanced criminal and counter terrorist awareness and a promotion in the exchange of information, the Solent Portal can continue to be a safe place to live, work and relax for all."
How does Project Kraken work?
Project Kraken, through the provision of a central phone number, provides a mechanism for the reporting of unusual activity or behaviour within the maritime environment, believed or suspected to be linked to acts of crime or preparatory acts of terrorism.
Whilst it is almost impossible to say with any certainty what a terrorist might look like, an individual’s activity or behaviour can become suspicious in the context of the location they are in. Likewise, the unexpected or unusual presence of a vessel or a particular cargo within a small port or marina might just cause reason for concern by those who live, work and relax in that particular environment on a regular basis.
Project Kraken provides for the collation and assessment of all information and intelligence relating to such suspicious activity or behaviour in circumstances that could be linked to criminal or terrorist activity or acts of a preparatory nature. It allows for the appropriate deployment of assets and resources from Hampshire Constabulary and its partner agencies in response to a potential or defined threat.
What do we ask of you?
Quite simply, to call the central number whenever you see any activity or behaviour that you feel is suspicious, and which may be connected with any preparatory acts of terrorism or criminal activity.
We are also asking users and residents of the Solent Portal to register to Project Kraken free of charge. As a registered member of Project Kraken you will receive timely information updates by email, and a quarterly newsletter providing a summary of national and international incidents that might be of interest.
In addition, you will be added to an email distribution list, which will be used, when appropriate, to circulate urgent information and intelligence updates. There may also be times that we may wish to contact you with specific reports and request that you assist us in ‘observing and reporting’ for a particular individual, group or vessel.

Clean and bright street signs gives the right message
NHW street signs should be a bright flash of yellow that catches your eye as you go about the Borough and makes you think ‘ here is a street that looks after itself and cares about what’s going on’Unfortunately many of our signs have faded with age and are no longer a warning to ‘would-be’ criminals.
In fact, I think these faded signs give the message to criminals ‘we don’t care anymore so come and have a go’!
For just £4.00 we can supply you with a self adhesive cover to completely refresh your sign or we can refurbish for you at a cost of £6 per sign.
Check your signs today then give your order to Carole on 023 92 583637 or sales@gosportnhw.co.uk It’s a great investment so what’s stopping you?
