Tasmania Police Deputy Commissioner Scott Tilyard said there was “no information whatsoever that there is any threat”.

“Tasmania is one of the safest states in one of the safest countries,” he said.

Having travelled to Melbourne earlier this week for the anti-terror summit, Deputy Commissioner Tilyard said Tasmania Police continued to work with interstate jurisdictions to develop strong preventative measures.

The three-day Leadership in Counter-Terrorism International Counter-Terrorism Forum included speakers from Britain, the US, Canada, France, New Zealand, Singapore and Belgium.

“The key focus for all of us is prevention,” Deputy Commissioner Tilyard said.

Earlier this year, Tasmania Police officers took part in a series of active armed offender training sessions in Launceston.

“We obviously need to be in a position to respond if something were to happen and we have highly trained people [in Tasmania] that are well equipped.”

The Deputy Commissioner’s message follows news Victoria Police will retrain its 16,000 operational officers to respond to threats of terror with “deadly force”.

The decision comes after a three-year review into public attacks, including the January's Bourke Street Mall tragedy, which left six people dead and Sydney's 2014 Lindt Cafe siege. 

It also follows an alleged terrorist bomb plot targeting landmarks in Melbourne's CBD on Christmas Day last year, which was foiled by police just days before.

While there is “no imminent threat” to Tasmania, Deputy Commissioner Tilyard said it was important to remain vigilant.

“The message we give to everybody is to remain vigilant all year round … if you see something suspicious, report it to the appropriate authorities.

“Be alert but don’t be alarmed.”
