BTP’s response to the Manchester Arena Inquiry report

Chief Constable Lucy D’Orsi said:

“We are carefully reviewing the findings outlined in Volume One of the Manchester Arena Inquiry report today.

"I would like to reassure everyone that British Transport Police, as you would expect, has been reviewing procedures, operational planning and training  since this dreadful attack took place in 2017. We continue to work closely with our emergency service colleagues, Greater Manchester Police and other experts to  strengthen our multi-agency preparedness for major incidents. We are committed to ensuring our staff are supported and prepared to undertake the roles they are required to do.

“We will never forget that twenty-two people tragically lost their lives following the truly evil actions of the attacker and many received life changing injuries . They continue to be at the forefront of our thoughts as are their loved ones and all those affected by this dreadful attack.”
