 When the C3i program began to be implemented in 2004, it was extremely controversial both within and outside the Met.A number of staff were reluctant to relocate to the new centres, and were also concerned about the substantial changes to their job role.Due to concerns about large numbers of potential staff shortages, the controversial 'Career Management' scheme was introduced; this meant that for some time prior to the introduction of Central Communications Command all staff currently working in CAD Rooms were barred from transferring to any other department within the MPS.
