A disturbance in the Force (police)This weeks drama over the Islington Temporary Danger Area (TDA) has meant that I have to sit down and look at how the UK got to where it is and where it is potentially going. Recognising the fragmentation, a national review led to the creation of the National Police Air Service (NPAS) on October 1, 2012. Philip Wilkinson, the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for Wiltshire, has been a vocal proponent of ending the indefinite government contract with the National Police Air Service (NPAS), which costs his force £700,000 annually. The BTP is the first force to operationalise this “drone in a box” technology. The force argues that releasing such details would reveal tactical capabilities to criminals and terrorists, allowing them to develop countermeasures.
