Government and police face tests to make sure they are fit for the Olympics
Key agencies such as the government and the police will undergo staged tests to prove they can handle any incidents that may occur during the London 2012 Olympics.
There will be a minimum of ten exercises planned which will not only look at how the incident is handled, but how the organisations work together, how they work with organisers, and how information is shared with the public.
Home Secretary Theresa May said: “I want to reassure everyone that with a year to go we will leave nothing to chance in our plans to deliver a Games that London, the UK and the whole world will enjoy.”
The police's Olympic Intelligence Centre is now operating and the Airwave radio system has been expanded to ensure that every officer working in or around the Olympic venues will be able to use it as their primary source of communication.
There is also a police-led National Olympic Co-ordination Centre, which involves different agencies to oversee safety and security operations during the Games.
