How 7/7 bombings were ‘watershed moment’ for Met Police’s counter-terrorism squad
The Head of Force, 24/7 bombings of the Metropolitan Police for the Anti -Terror Team “Basin Moment” was defined as defined, he said.
The team went to London to help after the attacks on July 7, 2005 and stayed in the capital for the next twenty years.
In 2005, the commander Dominic Murphy was an officer in Hertfordshire for 12 years and was trained as a bomb scene supervisor before the attacks on the transportation system that killed 52 people and injured hundreds of people.
When he saw that fear appeared on television, he did something that the police officers really should not do ”and went to London before he was officially deployed.
Bay Murphy said: um I was an officer who could be called to help London or another part of the country if they respond to a terrorist attack or make searches or somehow support.
“And I remember sitting in our special branch office, our intelligence unit in Hertfordshire, and I was watching it on TV, and I did what the police officers really shouldn’t do.
“I did not wait to talk. I talked to my line manager and I bought a car and all my kit and equipment and went to London to be here as quickly as possible.”
Compassion, who investigated the bombings and the speed they worked for, inspired him to spend the rest of his career to fight terrorism.
Mr. Murphy said, ım I came to our judicial management team.
“These were the officers and staff who responded in the scenes to collect evidence and unfortunately save those killed in the incident.
“A really high speed of activity came to something that I would define as a kind of activity that you would expect to do in such a terrible event, but of course it was on a scale and a kind of event we never saw.
“All these anti -terrorist officers I met from SO13, their professionalism, their commitments to find out who was responsible for this attack, their compassion for the victims … I extended to how they rescued those who died from the attacks.
“At the end of that first day, I was shot to see the professionalism and tempo they worked for. I never wanted to work elsewhere.
“I really wanted to work with this group of people, which I really thought were some of the most impressive people I have ever seen, and the way of depicting the commitment to the people of the people and the victims was crushing to me.
“That’s why I was a hertfordshire officer for about 12 years, but I really didn’t go back to Hertfordshire.
“Then I stayed here and the rest of my career has fought terrorism here.”
He specialized in the body recovery and was deployed abroad to investigate the 2015 Tunisian beach attacks and various British victims or interests, including the tragedies in Algeria, Yemen and Sudan.
