The three murdering Jihadis were all shot within 8 minutes. But there was complete mayhem and terror in the area for another three hours thanks to the Police's lack of communication. <br /><br />Families were being forced out of hotels and into what looked like a battle scene. No doubt there were good reasons why but the lack of communication just helps spread terror. <br /><br />BBC and Sky were pretty pathetic at putting together their reports. There were thousands of people streaming out of the area but we didn't get anything like a clear picture of what was going on until about 3 hours later. These are billion pound organisations. <br /><br />I think we need a Police spokesperson to come on TV and speak calmly and authoritatively in such cases. They don't need to do so in front of the media. They can just post the information briefings on You Tube or whatever. They need to give relevant information e.g. three suspects killed...do not enter the area between blah and blah. <br /><br />We also need a Civil Defence organisation which can in these cases offer support and guidance in these circumstances. A CDO could direct people to safe zones, in liaison with Police. It could appear on the scene with say buses, and refreshment facilities. In fact the situation is such now that the Police need to identify potential safe zones for displaced civilians to gather in e.g. football stadia which could be guarded by Police anti-terror contingents. The CDO could incorporate organisations like St Johns Ambulance, WRVS, and other voluntary organisations. <br /><br />It's not good enough for the Police to be tweeting "There is an incident at London Bridge" for a couple of hours and more before admitting it's a terrorist incident.
