MANPAD is a unit of Bedfordshire police officers dedicated to the security of London Luton Airport.  They are currently engaging local communities situated close to the airport in a government backed initiative which asks that the public be their "eyes and ears" on the ground reporting anything considered suspicious.  MANPAD gave a presentation to the Parish Council which will also be delivered at various locations to the public through the  year. 

They stressed that at present there is no known intelligence of any terrorist threat in our area of any kind, and wish the public to be aware that every effort is being made to reduce the risk of a terrorist related incident.
