Procurement at all Levels

This week the Securizine team attended Counter Terror World, part of Building a Secure World, which took place at Olympia, London, and which we shall report more from next week. The theme continues tomorrow with 'Counter-Terrorism: The London Debate' the last of the Met's six hearings under the programme of 'community engagement to counter terrorism' which has been running since June (see News).

We have the technology! Terror attacks can cover large areas and a new internet application from PITO, using HOLMES 2 and CasWeb, enables a force handling a large scale incident to share incoming calls with supporting forces across the UK (see Police IT).

Budgets and funding continue to dominate the agenda, with the Met announcing savings of around £100m on its projected budget, while there is disappointment at the Home Office announcement that it will now only fund 16,000 PCSO posts nationally, rather than the original 24,000 (see News).

Money is being spent: The first phase of the multi-million pound project to provide Cleveland Police with some of the best facilities in the country has gone live, with much improved facilities for the public, a lecture theatre for training and a dedicated major incident suite (see News).

Finally, we hear that PCSO Vince Preston reckoned that he could do his job better with a helmet cam, so petitioned his command to get one, and has since proved himself right with three arrests in a week (see Equipment).
