Police officer planning to move due to threat: MP
East Londonderry MP Gregory Campbell has said that three people '“ two serving PSNI officers and one a former police officer '“ had told him they had been notified of threats to them in the last few weeks.
He said one of the serving officers is planning to move as a consequence, and that it is a sign of an escalation in activity by “a very active” dissident cell in the north-west.
He said of the other two officers that one had asked for extra security, and the other had been advised to take care when travelling.

“Whilst I am aware of increased patrolling in the vicinity by security services, this needs to be stepped up.
“We need to ensure serving personnel have all the necessary security measures in place. I am deeply concerned that in some cases, this is not happening.”
