G8 - Planning Started in Q1- 04 Project SORBUS - Summer 2004 How did a ‘National Network’ influence planning?

Network Performance How did it perform? Did it meet the user requirements and expectations? Did the user community truly understand the concept of a ‘National Network’? Did the partnership work between the Police and the Service Provider?

Why?

Lessons Learnt closer relationship between operational and communications planners operational orders and briefings 30 police mutual aid talkgroups - is that enough? do we need to think again regarding national talkgroups?

Communications Activity Analysis During the G8 Summit

Recommendations 1 That this report is made available to all police forces regardless of their involvement with the G8 Operation 2 That policies and instructions in relation to aiding detachments travelling and at a staging or rendezvous point take account of the implications of monitoring multiple operational talkgroups 3 That where large numbers of users are to gather at a staging or rendezvous point within a force other than that hosting the event, that any liaison takes place with the force hosting that rendezvous point in relation to any potential communications implications 4 That where aiding detachments are used in policing of large events the hosting force continues to stress the implications of monitoring inappropriate talkgroups and continues to “police” the activity through radio sites serving the event with the assistance of the service provider

Recommendations 5 The service providers appear to be committed to geographically constraining talkgroups in consultation with the owner of each talkgroup. This work will only start after all clusters are connected and it is likely to take a considerable period to complete. With the experiences of this policing event, where appropriate, forces should consider approaching service providers to have all talkgroups belonging to aiding detachments removed from critical radio sites supporting any event 6 The long term decision about which talkgroups will be allowed on what radio sites will be taken by individual forces. In the light of the G8 operation, the service as a whole should consider if there is a need for corporate guidelines in relation to the constraint of geographical areas associated with operational talkgroups carrying heavy voice traffic

Recommendations 7 That when using Police Mutual Aid talkgroups forces consider specifying on which radio sites these talkgroups should be enabled 8 That forces consider the need for and advantages of detailed surveys of best serving radio sites or detailed analysis of radio activity in operational use when planning high profile operational events so that where necessary activity on all radio sites supporting the event can take place 9 That all forces are made aware of the limit of 2,000 radios affiliating to a single radio site and the potential operational implications for large policing operations in the future

FUTURE

Future of Airwave in Scotland All forces migrate onto system The building of a ground base network resilient system ‘Hot mirror’ switch Development of mobile information Blue light interop
