£6 billion plan for new 999 radios 'puts lives at risk' because it will
stop the public calling emergency number

A £6 billion project to replace radios used by the 999 services with a
system that uses the 4G mobile phone network has been condemned as
‘reckless’ and ‘short-sighted’ amid fears it could put lives at risk.

The Home Office is planning to overhaul communications for emergency teams
within two years. But police chiefs, crime tsars and industry experts say
that the project is being rushed through to save money.

The Mail on Sunday can reveal that:
Civil servants are insisting that police forces start moving to the new
system by next year – even before there is full coverage across the
country, despite warnings by Chief Constables.
The public will be left struggling to call 999 in a disaster, as they will
be using the same 4G networks as emergency services, who will take priority.
Police insiders are concerned that the new system may not work on the
London Underground, as was required after 7/7.
