Even though it's not likely to be of interest to many, I've given Metcall/C3I a page of its own rather than further expand the main Metropolitan Police Service or Central Operations page. The C3I programme is the biggest change in the MPS for some years (and 2006's structural changes mean Metcall is now the biggest OCU in the Met); it seemed to make more sense to give it its own page (and a subsidiary page on the new and expanded role of Cad operators, now that the role is a separate position in its own right, rather than a primarily police officer-staffed post supplemented by civilian staff) instead of trying to shoehorn them into the existing article. Furthermore, Metcall is likely to be Ian Blair's most significant operational legacy so is likely to be of historical interest in future.
The page is photo-less as the MPS don't want to release any external shots that could identify the Metcall centres (their own website admits that the locations are Hendon, Bow & Lambeth, but the exact addresses aren't in the public domain), and the MPS will not release any photos of even the insides of the buildings into the public domain. (Should anyone really care, the MPS has released photos of Wimbledon Police Station's old Cad Room and Traffic Control; Traffic in particular has a very similar layout to Metcall inside.)

Note: Apologies for the multiple minor edits to this since it's creation! After I decided to separate out the description of the post of Cad Operator and of the Contact Handling System into separate articles, this one needed quite a bit of tweaking to avoid duplication between the articles.

I'm confused by whether it's incorrectly or correctly known as C3I. If it's incorrectly known by this name, perhaps we should say why, or what leads to the confusion. Interesting article though. Escaper7 13:19, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
In order to break up a pointless walled garden, I've merged Contact Handling System and CAD Operator into this article. I've also completely rewritten (and re-sourced) the section on staffing. While the section I've added on allegations of racial bias is bound to be controversial, I've sourced it very carefully to make sure it's neutral and accurate. - iridescent (talk to me!) 16:08, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
As the locations of the buildings are secret, and the MPS doesn't release any photos into the public domain (there are a couple of photos of the inside of the centre in back-issues of MPS internal magazines, notably The Job), this article is necessarily short of illustrations. The address of one of the buildings has made it into the public domain (see the image page), so I've taken a photo of that particular building. While I agree the page looks a bit sparse, I don't see a need for more illustrations (even if sourceable), unless someone can find a public domain photo of the CHS system in use (unlikely) — iridescent (talk to me!) 02:12, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
I am glad to say that this article which was nominated for good article status has succeeded. This is how the article, as of May 31, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:

In police terms what is Metronet? Is it something to do with Metcall? I know that Metronet is the name for the maintenance company that looks after parts of the underground, and also will Metcall be part of the proposed network to allow pan-emergency services comms? Thanks in advance. Escaper2007 11:37, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
The article says "Generally, the term 'Metcall' is used internally whilst the term 'C3i' is used externally, although this is not a hard-and-fast rule."
This sounds backwards. Is it?
If this really is how the terms are used, then some explanation may be in order. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Audry2 ( talk • contribs) 01:41, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Please don't keep re-adding the material to the lead of
Central Communications Command. I don't care what the internal Met Police terminology is, and nor do our readers, none of whom should be expected to know what a "Cad Room" is - which at any rate is covered later in the article. In addition, you are adding misformatted references to
unreliable sources. –
