In the Pathfinder (Camden & Islington) Borough I understand that can be around 100 outstanding urgent calls at any one time with the response team. I have had reports that when member of the public calls 999, the police do not always respond to their call. Is this correct?

In the Pathfinder (Camden & Islington) Borough there appears to be a disconnect in that ward priorities are not aligned with the emergency policing team priorities, for example if a caller dials 101 to report anti-social behaviour that was an issue on the ward, the Response teams would not attend as they had I & S grade priorities. What is being done about this?

I am getting reports from Camden residents and ward panels that the Pathfinder (Camden & Islington) Borough has resulted in a deterioration of services provided by the MPS, including in particular the poor standard of investigations into crime allegations. What is being done to correct this?

I have been informed that there are continuing problems with police Airwave radios for response teams--specifically that a response team is expected to maintain one channel while responding to an incident. This apparently means that other teams cannot listen in--one example given to me was that a team requiring assistance might not be able to communicate with another team nearby who could help. Is this correct? Is this a product of the borough pathfinder merger? If this is happening, what is being done about it?
