Through viewpoint of their recent research article published in the Journal of Business Continuity and Emergency Planning (Henry Stewart Publications) “After the horse has bolted? A quantitative assessment of the count of civil protection officers in London Local Authorities between 2006 and 2024”, David and Stephen are considering the wider questions around our National Resilience Capability and the potential move to a posture of defence, rather than resilience planning.
