“We have well rehearsed plans to deal with this incident”
Possibly indicates this was treated early on as a terror incident, nature of the spreading threat could have seen this classified as “marauding terror attack”. Plausible it was declared “Op Plato” by police at the time

We are responding with other emergency services to a major incident in Nottingham.

We are working closely with @nottspolice and have well-rehearsed plans in place to deal with this incident.

Horrific incident, hugely complex operation to meticulously gather evidence at the very large scene.
The ‘machine’ that kicks in after an incident like this is massive, there will be a lot of people working extremely hard behind the scenes. Thoughts with all impacted #Nottingham

[Nottinghamshire Police @nottspolice]

In a series of incidents that took place this morning (Tuesday 13 June), two people were killed on Ilkeston Road and a man was found dead on Magdala Road. A 31-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

@johnestevens It’s called a ‘Jankal’, made by Ford, they cost about £200k
Used by Met and number of other forces for years typically in public order / protest, firearms incidents and sometimes at airports. Quite uncomfortable inside but nothing new

Fantastic community policing, well done

[Police Mutual @PoliceMutual]

Good cops - @DurhamRAPol paid Harry a visit and asked him to lead them around his road with his new toy police bike. It was a real fillip for young Harry who's not been doing too well of late. Well done guys.

Lots of elements to this missing person investigation, primary issue is to confirm well-being of baby.

Good example of how hard it can be to locate someone who is living “off grid”, heavy reliance in policing on technology to locate people.Public must come forward with sightings
