Connecting legacy and disparate data to improve police productivity and performance
Having easy and secure access to trusted information is crucial for the delivery and advancement of police work. Investigations can become time-consuming and resource-intensive if access becomes constrained by information being stored in multiple formats and disparate systems and documents.
Our police information management services can digitise and centralise all your paper and disparate digital records. By applying relevant controls and leveraging artificial intelligence (AI), you can search, access and share large amounts of otherwise inaccessible information within your forces more efficiently and quickly. This means you can spend more time focusing on what matters most – solving crimes and supporting victims.
We’ve supported many public service organisations to connect their legacy and disparate data, including digitising four billion pieces of paper to enable their easy retrieval. We tailor our digital solutions to the needs of your organisation whilst ensuring that you’re always fully compliant with the Data Protection Act and all GDPR requirements.
