Control Room
Tweeting going on just out of shot...
This is where the operations officer works, filtering the calls that are coming in and assessing which are suitable for the ASU to attend. The tactical commander will have the final say on which calls the ASU attends and in what order. A key consideration is whether deployment of the aircraft will enhance public safety. Watching the Heli-Tele screens we were able to see where G-MPSC, just out on a job, actually was.
The control room is also where the @mpsinthesky twitter account is updated. The account now has nearly 49,000 followers and apparently noise complaints have decreased dramatically since people have been able to easily find out why the aircraft has been deployed, for instance searching for a missing vulnerable person.
