What was promised
Stated action 1 · response to Lucasz Lewandowski (15 Oct 2014) · stated timescale: final stages
“The Operational Communications Branch (OCB) has undertaken a review of its Escalation Policy. The intention of this review, which is in its final stages, is to ensure the OCB works effectively with Divisions to enhance its ability to effectively identify areas of risk and then effectively manage the allocation of patrols to address that risk. In cases when it becomes apparent that resources are unavailable for allocation, the Escalation Policy will ensure the incident is brought to the attention”
