The post reads: "Ahead of the @eltonofficial concerts @ashtongatestad at the end of June, officers have been out conducting Project Servator patrols in South Bristol today."
Project Servator is the name given to unpredictable, highly visible police deployments carried out by Avon and Somerset Police and other police forces designed to disrupt a wide range of criminal activity.
The tactics aim to identify and disrupt hostile reconnaissance – the information gathering a criminal does when planning to commit a criminal act, including terrorist attacks.
