Senators Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse have successfully secured $452K in funding to assist the East Greenwich Fire Department in upgrading their communications equipment. This investment will provide new radios and responders, enhancing public safety by improving communication during emergencies. In London, Mayor Sadiq Khan's recent visit to the Metropolitan Police Command and Control centre in Lambeth highlighted the significant improvements in the Met Police's 999 call answering times, thanks to a £2.5m investment from City Hall. This funding has led to a massive improvement in service, with the Met now exceeding the national target for call response times. The Command and Control centre, which handles over six million emergency calls and online queries annually, has seen a notable enhancement in its operational efficiency.
