Our Experience : |

David retired from the Lancashire Constabulary in September 1996 after serving for 30 years. |
At the time of his retirement he was an inspector working within the force Information Technology Department where he had been closely involved with the design, development and testing of the force Information and Logging system which integrated an number of the force IT systems and the VHF radio infrastructure into one application. |
A major part of that integration was the use of radio status messages in 'real time' updating both incident and resource logs. That system, known as 'CRS' is still in operational use within every communication room in the force. |
On his retirement David was asked to join Lancashire project team for the implementation of the Airwave Service Pilot (using Tetra Radio Technology) within the force. |
