Recommendation TAYL-I31: Ensure sufficient, prioritised radio operators and soundproof police control room

From Taylor Inquiry — Interim Report, published 4 August 1989.

Recommendation

There should be sufficient operators in the police control room to enable all radio transmissions to be received, evaluated and answered. The radio system should be such as to give operators in the control room priority over, and the capacity to override, others using the same channel. Additional channels should be used, where necessary, to prevent overcrowding of the airwaves. Consideration should be given to sound-proofing the control room against excessive crowd noise.

Jurisdiction: UK-wide
