The Operation Task Report

This was brought to my attention last night before being posted on other forums.

A quick read shows how ineffective the UK police actually were, for all their technology and expertise.
Having HOLMES available for the PJ was pretty pointless if the PJ couldn't speak English and weren't trained on the system.

But there was a Portuguese speaking cop assigned.

Sure there was, but he was there for liaison purposes, not to be operating a HOLMES terminal 24/7

Thanks for posting the link - quite a catalogue of a shocking waste of police resources, time and money.
