January 2010 - Metropolitan Police Pilot Griffin.
Although Project Griffin has been active on Westminster Borough for the last five years, the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) are currently running a six month pilot to deliver the project to other Boroughs within the capital. The aim of the pilot is to determine if Project Griffin is suitable for wider MPS roll out. There are three pilot sites namely Islington, Kingston and Safer Transport Command with London Buses. For more information please contact the coordinator, PC Helen Scammell by email on mpsprojectgriffin@met.police.uk
