(BBC) British Transport Police officers’ response to the Manchester Arena attack has been described as “exemplary,” despite significant command failures.
The officers were among the first to enter the foyer area, where the May 2017 suicide bombing killed 22 people.
Policing experts praised their efforts at a public inquiry into the atrocity.
Ex-police chief Ian Dickinson said BTP officers “supported the injured in spite of operational tactical command rather than being enabled by it.”
The inquiry previously heard there were “significant failures” by five officers on duty in the lead-up to the attack, including two of them driving away from the arena to buy kebabs on a two-hour break.
