Join Our Team
Policing and Public Safety.
Helping keep the public safe
We provide advisory services to develop information and communications strategies, security policies and procurement support that deliver effective technology solutions to front-line public safety personnel and organisations. Our team has supported standardisation activities at international levels, the deployment of mission-critical systems, as well as undertaking frequent ‘horizon scanning’ activities on new ‘bleeding edge’ technological developments for public protection and disaster relief.

Advanced digital technology is becoming ever more accessible, bringing benefits to consumers and to the organisations that best harness these developments to disrupt existing industries.

Criminals are exploiting technology, creating new types of crime and finding new ways of carrying out traditional crimes. ‘Investigation of crimes often involves technology, e.g. forensic analysis of phones, obtaining GPS history from vehicles, etc.

This rapid development of digital technology raises opportunities and challenges for policing. Opportunities include increased efficiency and effectiveness that can be achieved from digital transformation, capabilities to provide information to front-line officers, the move to more data driven approaches made possible by advanced data analytics, and the ability to engage with the public in better ways.

Challenges include keeping up with the sheer speed of technology development, developing and retaining the specialist technical skills available to understand and exploit technology changes, and having the capabilities needed to capture and extract actionable intelligence from the vast quantities of data that are becoming available.

Let us help you succeed.

We have worked for almost every Police Force in the UK, and many Fire and Ambulance Services, as well as the Home Office and other national organisations. From this we have a very deep understanding of policing, mission critical systems and public safety.

The services that we deliver to this community include:

  • Developing strategies and architectures
  • Designing and supporting digital transformations
  • Specifying and procuring new systems
  • Securing key systems, information and services
  • Designing and implementing data analytics and AI/ML systems for identifying actionable intelligence from high volume data flows

In all of these engagements we prioritise knowledge transfer to our clients, to ensure that they are better placed than when we started.
