Police Network failure update

 

Today, Tuesday, May 21, the Constabulary suffered a network systems failure that lasted just under two hours.

The cause of the failure is yet to be confirmed.

Chief Inspector Force Control Centre, Damien Smethurst said: "Despite the loss of all network systems we were able to maintain radio communications with all operational staff, and we retained the capability to receive and respond to all emergency calls.

"We also had full co-operation from neighbouring forces, who helped by taking non-emergency calls and supporting Cheshire in PNC and intel search capability.

"Throughout the incident our priority was the safety of the public and all staff. A full business continuity review will take place to identify any lessons for the future."
