Police Forces

The evolution of UK policing capabilities, such as surveillance and analysis, has always been a core part of how the service operates. There is a public expectation that police forces use information and command structures that are wholly unaffected by force boundaries, in order to identify criminal activity at all stages of development.

Leonardo has considerable experience working with police forces across the UK, in particular through the provision of a very large-scale national policing system through our work with the Home Office. We can provide a wide range of digital and cyber solutions that can capture, monitor, analyse and process large and complex big data sets in both open source and on the dark web.

Through our comprehensive and bespoke communication solutions, police forces have a vital strategic advantage in the fight against terrorist attacks and organised crime, using technologies such as secure mobile surveillance and mission-critical communications.
