Metropolitan Police Service, LondonEnsuring efficient policing during London Olympics

Required easily accessible email for extra police officers during the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

• Adopted Office 365 platform with Microsoft Exchange Online

• Assigned mutual aid officers with secure temporary email that was decommissioned after the Games
