Met police Commissioner visits our training of police officers who will be driving our ambulances

A new blue-light partnership between London Ambulance Service and the Metropolitan Police Service will see police officers across the capital driving ambulances and assisting medics to help boost the emergency response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Metropolitan Police Service has agreed to provide around 75 police officers to London Ambulance Service. The new partnership will help us to continue to put more ambulances on the road responding to Londoners that need them. A similar partnership with London Fire Brigade (LFB) announced in April last year saw 300 firefighters helping with a number of roles across the ambulance service including driving ambulances – support which is ongoing, with more firefighters receiving training this week. The police officers, who begin training this week, are blue light driving trained, have basic first aid skills and know the streets of London well, making them the ideal partners to assist the ambulance service during this period of unprecedented demand. Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Dame Cressida Dick visited the training on Wednesday (13 January) at Wembley Stadium. Jason Hallahan, Emergency Planning and Resilience Officer for London Ambulance Service, walked Ms Dick around the set up and showed her how officers are being trained on vehicle familiarisation, manual handling and ambulance equipment – before talking with our Chief Executive, Garrett Emmerson.
