Emergency Services Times
For the latest news and information on all emergency services.
Hi Reader,
It’s been a big week here at Emergency Services Times with the release of season two of our podcast and our 25th webinar.
In both we talk about JESIP, major incident communications and sharing learning. This coincides with the inspectorate’s second report into how the emergency services responded to the riots last summer.
The interconnectedness of all this is not lost on me and is a timely reminder about how important it is to look up and across the blue light space as no one service has all the answers.
So, be sure to take time to watch the webinar on catch up and subscribe to the podcast so that you can do the same.
