    Report summary

    Liam Stephen Allan was arrested alongside the River Thames on the evening of 26 August 2022, entered the river, and drowned. The report identified concerns about inadequate lighting and visibility of riverside buoyancy aids, and about delays in alerting the London Fire Brigade because notification was made by telephone rather than through the faster CAD-mediated system.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Delays in police alerting of the LFB and subsequent emergency response

    Wider context from the report

    “The process for alerting the LFB by the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) uses a telephone to transmit information from the MPS to the LFB, rather than using a CAD-mediated system to transfer information electronically from the Police to the LFB which is faster than transmitting information by telephone. This delay means that there is a risk that future deaths could occur due to a delay in the LFB being alerted by the Police and a corresponding delay to the LFB's subsequent response to an emergency incident. ”

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Inadequate visibility of riverside buoyancy aids

    Wider context from the report

    “The lighting of buoyancy aids on the riverside is not adequate, meaning that they are not able to be identified rapidly and then deployed without delay in an emergency situation. Buoyancy aids are more visible when painted with white stripes and/or reflective white stripes. However, not all buoyancy aids are so painted, meaning that they are not able to be identified rapidly and then deployed without delay in an emergency situation. ”
