In other NPIA news, the agency has just rolled out its emergency service Olympic Awareness e-learning package to local authorities, the British Red Cross, St Johns Ambulance Service and other volunteering organisations.

The online training will help the police and emergency services prepare for the Games. The training provides an introductory overview of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games and describes how the police and its partners will operate and work together on shared safety and security issues.

Over 16,000 police officers and staff have already completed the training.

The NPIA is being disbanded by the government as it is creating a new to commission and deliver services, in an attempt to make greater IT savings.
