Previous Command and Control System
Historically, each of the Met's Borough Operational Command Units (BOCUs) had its own control room, known internally as the 'CAD Room' (for Computer Assisted Despatch) which dealt with incoming non-emergency telephone calls and with despatching police officers to all calls in that area. In addition Information Room at New Scotland Yard received 999 calls which were sent to the CAD Room to be dealt with. In 2004 staff began to migrate on a borough-by-borough basis to Metcall, with Southwark being the first BOCU to move.

“Columbus stood in his age as the pioneer of progress and enlightenment. The system of universal education is in our age the most prominent and salutary feature of the spirit of enlightenment, and it is peculiarly appropriate that the schools be made by the people the center of the day’s demonstration. Let the national flag float over every schoolhouse in the country and the exercises be such as shall impress upon our youth the patriotic duties of American citizenship.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
