All GMP firearms police wear bodycams in case of another terror attack, inquiry hears
All Greater Manchester Police firearms officers now wear bodycams in case of another terror attacks, the Manchester Arena inquiry has heard.
The inquiry has already recommended the force reflected on its practice in record keeping, and Mr Woods said there had been 'significant change' in his evidence to the panel. He said task one of the major incident plan directed commanders to turn on a recording device, whether that is a dictaphone or a body camera.
The first of three inquiry reports, published in June 2021 by inquiry chairman Sir John Saunders, found 'serious shortcomings' by the venue's owners SMG, their security contractor Showsec and British Transport Police . Sir John ruled the terrorist should have been identified that night and, had he been, 'the loss of life and injury is highly likely to have been less', a conclusion that angered families of those who died.
Because of previous training exercises and experience of major incidents, GMP 'knew' its Force Duty Officer - a key hub who is supposed to communicate with the other blue light services - would become overwhelmed during a terror attack. The failure of the FDO on the night of the 2017 attack, Insp Dale Sexton, to communicate with other blue light agencies 'played a major part in the total failure of joint working that night', said Sir John.
All officers received training which embedded working in partnership with other emergency services, said the senior officer. He admitted a 'tri-service' training video about working with other agencies was not obligatory for staff, but he would go away and 'have a think' whether it should be required.
Questioned by Sir John if it would ever be 'scaled back' in the future if there were more cuts, the witness admitted he could 'never say never' but that he regarded this department as a 'sacred cow'. He said the force had adopted a recommendation to ensure its plans are reviewed regularly including a regular review of the Op Plato plan.
