[[Nottinghamshire Police]] also stated that their response times had been greatly delayed due to the shared service and that some police cars had been seriously damaged due to their extended and prolonged use, travelling hundreds of miles a day.
Paddy Tipping, [[Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Commissioner|Nottinghamshire's Police and Crime Comissioner]] at the time said that he was not confident that people in need of help would get it in a timely manner due to the EMOpSS.
The remaining three forces in the shared service stated that they did not agree with [[Nottinghamshire Police]]'s review and said that although the service may have not worked well in [[Nottinghamshire]], it was working fine in the remaining forces.
