If it is to morph into a JRCC in future then for it to successfully use that concept the police need to wake up and get involved. So far, in all UK jurisdictions, they have generally been quite happy to let somebody else carry the load. The MCA do SAR helicopters, civ MRT and RAF MRS search hills, CG and RNLI do Loch Ness, ALSAR, and so on and so on. All of which nibbles away at what is Police business in the Civil Contingencies Act 2004.
