Verbatim wording from the response “The Government considers that this recommendation applies to organisations beyond the ambulance service.

While there may be improvements individual emergency services may wish to make in terms of technical matters, it is the Government's view that this issue should be sufficiently addressed by the emphasis in the JOPs and related doctrine of the importance of effective multi-agency communication. However, as chair of the cross-Government and Emergency Service Joint Operational Working Group, the Government will consider this element as part of its continuous review of doctrine.” Source location 2019-0332-Response-by-Home-Office

All officers with an AFO role in CoLP receive enhanced First Aid training, with emphasis on treatment of ballistic injuries. Following the London Bridge incident, further response officers received the same enhanced First Aid Training, the same as CoLP AFOs. CoLP now plans to train all frontline officers to an enhanced level. This training commenced in Q3 2019 and will continue into 2020. As part of this training, officers receive further training in the use of tourniquets which will be issued to each officer upon completion of training.” Source location 2019-0332-Response-by-City-of-London-Police

Verbatim wording from the response “2.1 Joint Operating Principles (JOPs) are regularly reviewed and updated. Following the attacks in 2017 and before the hearings commenced in 2019 significant amendments were made to the MTA JOPs to reflect the changing nature in the threats presented. As the Coroner records, the current MTA JOPs recognises the requirements of speed and flexibility of response. The Operation Plato guidance has also been amended to reflect the change in approach.

PFD Monitor interpretation No further changes to the current marauding-terrorist-attack procedures or national guidance are required based on learning from the 2017 attacks.
Verbatim wording from the response “37. The MTA JOPs and Operation Plato guidance are regularly reviewed, drawing on learning from major incidents and exercises. This is an ongoing process. The current edition of the MTA JOPs is the fifth edition to be produced, reflecting a continuous process of reviewing procedures and preparedness. We are satisfied that there is no learning from the 2017 attacks which requires further changes to the current edition of the MTA JOPs and Operation Plato guidance.” Source location 2019-0332-Response-by-Metropolitan-Police-Service

PFD Monitor interpretation Permanent embedding of ambulance and fire representatives in police control rooms is not considered sufficiently beneficial; existing coordinated communication arrangements are relied upon instead.
Verbatim wording from the response “57. The ‘core’ Joint Emergency Services Interoperability Principles (JESIP), the MTA JOPs and the Operation Plato national guidance all stress the importance of effective communication, sharing of information and joint working between the three emergency services. These documents identify the critical importance of establishing an initial ‘tri-service’ communication link between the control rooms, subsequent co-location of on-scene commanders and the establishment of combined tactical and strategic coordinating groups as soon as practicable during a MTA. This was the case during the London Bridge attacks.” Source location 2019-0332-Response-by-Metropolitan-Police-Service

PFD Monitor interpretation Definitive guidance for counter-terrorism security advisers is currently limited by the absence of clear legislation, case law and guidance.
Verbatim wording from the response “20. As outlined in MC3, there is an absence of specific protective security legislation. There is also an absence of case law or guidance in this area. Consequently, provision of clear, definitive guidance for the CTSA network is challenging. Ultimately we can provide as much CT advice as we want but absent a clear legal duty, implementation of that advice is optional. NaCTSO is currently reviewing the various legal provisions which might impose a duty in the public and private sector, but we can only provide (further) advice to the CTSA network internally. Providing legal advice directly to public authorities or others would fall outside the scope of our role.” Source location 2019-0332-Response-by-Metropolitan-Police-Service

PFD Monitor interpretation Existing training, briefings and centrally managed capability updates already address awareness of protective-security equipment and infrastructure.
Verbatim wording from the response “23. The CTSA network undertakes a comprehensive training programme which takes a minimum of two years to complete. This course is accredited to City and Guilds level and courses are delivered by both NaCTSO and CPNI trainers. All CTSAs must attain this standard and are supported and mentored until this is achieved. Some CTSAs also opt to continue to a further graduate level qualification. Both courses cover the security mitigations that are available in protective security. The course content is regularly updated and those undertaking that task will be fully briefed on all relevant matters including the Chief Coroner’s report.” Source location 2019-0332-Response-by-Metropolitan-Police-Service

PFD Monitor interpretation It is not possible to provide bespoke protective-security advice to every crowded place, so advice must remain prioritised and proportionate.
Verbatim wording from the response “6. As it is not possible to deliver bespoke advice to every crowded place, access to guidance works on a process of scaled options and differing delivery mechanisms. It is important to note that CT security measures for crowded places do not only begin when a site is identified as a “priority site”. A huge amount of work has been and is being done across the sector. Free security advice is available to everyone as envisaged by the Lord West report. This is delivered in particular by NaCTSO and the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI).” Source location 2019-0332-Response-by-Metropolitan-Police-Service

PFD Monitor interpretation The ambulance service retains lead responsibility for casualty management during marauding-terrorist attacks.
Verbatim wording from the response “51. It should be noted that the primary role of armed police officers during a MTA will be to identify, locate and confront subjects in order to neutralise the threat. The provision of first aid may be a secondary role for armed officers once the threat has been neutralised, or where there is sufficient armed capacity to enable some armed officers to support other lifesaving activity. It is important that this role is not confused with that of the ambulance service.” Source location 2019-0332-Response-by-Metropolitan-Police-Service

Work is currently underway, led by Chief Constable Simon Chesterman on behalf of NPCC, to enable all police force control rooms to have visibility of armed officers who arrive into their force area to provide operational support. However this is a complex technical area and the identification of a viable and affordable solution is challenging.” Source location 2019-0332-Response-by-Metropolitan-Police-Service

Since the London Bridge attack, the UK Intelligence Community (UKIC) has enhanced its secure messaging capability with Counter Terrorist Group partners in relation to counter-terrorism investigations. There is also stronger cooperation on language capability across UKIC. In addition, SIS has formed a team of linguists dedicated to supporting counter-terrorism work - working alongside operational officers - and simplified processes for them. SIS has updated its guidance, in consultation with MI5, relating to the appropriate and timely dissemination of information or requests from foreign liaisons, providing a clear set of handling guidelines concerning responsibilities towards data and issuing tactical reporting.” Source location 2019-0332-Response-by-Home-Office

GPS location of officers through the Airwave network was explored within the scope of this project. The new radios that are available have GPS capability. In order to enable this functionality within CoLP, a further uplift in the control room IT is required to introduce an interface that will extract the location data from the Officers radio onto a map within the control room. This is a capital project which has been approved and the award of contract has now been made by the Metropolitan Police Service, with a very tight delivery timescale of 8 months.” Source location 2019-0332-Response-by-City-of-London-Police
