Collaborating for Efficiency and Quality

Meanwhile the dedicated Search and Rescue Zone brings together RNLI, Maritime & Coast Guard Agency, Cave and Mountain Rescue, RAF Search and Rescue, Association of Lowland Search and Rescue, and Mountain Bike Search and Rescue, among others.

Police organisations available to speak to will include National Association of Police Fleet Managers, and the Home Office CAST-AES, which provides technical guidance, advice and support to the police service with respect to vehicles and equipment procurement.

Other government departments exhibiting in the Emergency Response Zone include the Environment Agency and the Highways Agency, while charities include the The Blue Lamp Foundation which provides emergency financial aid to help emergency service personnel injured in the line of duty.
