Much necessary scrutiny of the language, the words, the exclamations of senior police officers this week. I talk about language of emergency response here https://t.co/5bHMQ1SMc1

Attention police forces who think that integrating AI, particularly Co Pilot, is some sort of quantum leap forward and only a positive, whilst using it to justify cuts to personnel and their corresponding (human) expertise… this will be the tip of the iceberg.

[Gabriel Pogrund @Gabriel_Pogrund]

BREAK: West Mids police chief constable Craig Guildford offers “profound apology” and admits that fictitious Maccabi/West Ham match included in police “intelligence” used to justify ban ***was*** generated by AI.

Guildford said the opposite to MPs.

If you work in and around crisis management and resilience I am interested in your views for some research. I would be grateful if you can fill in the survey and share with others to complete. Thanks

Following last Monday’s poignant anniversary of the 7/7 bombings, we’d like to reflect on what happened that day from not only the perspective of a survivor but someone whose job it was to protect the public.

Read his recollection here: https://t.co/9rEkSXwFnR

#77Bombings

[British Transport Police @BTP]

Today marks 20 years since the 7/7 London bombings, which killed 52 people and injured over 770 others.

We remember the victims and all affected, and honour the bravery of emergency services, especially BTP officers and staff who worked tirelessly in the aftermath.

BREAKING: New national security strategy warns that the UK must “actively prepare” for war on the homeland for the 1st time in many years

“For the first time in many years, we have to actively prepare for the possibility of the UK homeland coming under direct threat, potentially in a wartime scenario”

[Dr Helen Turner @hellturn]

Over the years I’ve queried how JESIP intend to improve their integration of BTP, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency or Cat 2 responders and it feels like it just sits in their “too difficult” box…

[Dr Helen Turner @hellturn]

It’s reductive and disappointing. The exclusion of other Category 1 organisations (not to mention non-Home Office Police Forces) from this work seems completely at odds with the Pollock Report and @jesip999’s own fundamental guiding principles.

[Hugh Deeming @HasisD]

The new 1-min videos represent 3 more @jesip999 outputs that are almost exclusively focused on the 3 x 'blue light' services
How will other responder orgs be able to argue for / justify investment in training when such a powerful 'blue light' framing effectively excludes them?

[Dr Helen Turner @hellturn]

It feels more than a little ghoulish that the most popular download packs on Microsoft Flight Simulator right now are for an Air India 787 and Ahmedabad airport… is this a new post-incident phenomenon, emergency planners?
