We work with tech innovators, startups and SMEs that want to be part of or expand their reach into the policetech market, and who want to share and debate the challenges they face in making a difference.
In recent months, we have been given the opportunity to see how one of our client’s technologies is really making a demonstrable difference to public safety specifically – in a way that we can all identify with – and we’ve got really excited about it.
Our client Chorus is transforming the way that the police investigates and solves crime. As a trusted partner of law enforcement agencies and, nearly all of UK police forces, the company provides data cleansing and analysis that enables police analysts and investigators to process information quickly to find leads and build evidence in a matter of minutes, rather than weeks. The analysis makes sure officers are out on the streets, and not stuck behind desks, trawling through mountains of data.
Following the end of a high-profile case county lines case, Mantis saw the opportunity to bring Chorus to a national audience and secured a broadcast interview with BBC News’ Midlands Correspondent, Sima Kotecha for a first look at the technology the police is using to solve county lines crime.
Working alongside Chorus’ force customer, the filming took place in the Intelligence room of the force HQ, with interviews from Chorus’ Customer Relations Director, Richard Helson, the Chief Superintendent and a demonstration of the technology used in the case to track and piece together the movements of the suspects.
For now the results from our first four months working together are worth a look:
We are only at the start of our campaign with Mantis but they have exceeded our expectations already. Securing coverage and interviews in key media for the launch of our Investigator product and convincing a customer to join us in some positive PR for the BBC!
Mantis created a dedicated, integrated campaign for the fire and rescue services sector combining and re-using PR content to secure press coverage, create e-mailers, sales events and website updates. Mantis is raising our profile & delivering sales opportunities.
SFR Medical was created to produce medical evidence reports in a timelier and more cost efficient manner. SFR Medical contracted Mantis to help raise awareness of its services to police forces and medical professionals.
Tussell report says justice buyers spent more on techn, as a proportion of total spending, than the public sector as a whole. In fact, it's more than double.
Mantis begins work with its latest policetech and medtech client, SFR Medical, a UK startup, which makes obtaining medical evidence quicker and easier for police forces.
In our very first 'Tech to Transform' podcast [they'll be many more to follow] hosted by Rebecca Paddick, we learn about the challenges and opportunities facing policetech in the UK
A new report ‘State of Policing – The Annual Assessment of Policing in England and Wales in 2019' suggests policetech improvements are needed.
The National Policing Strategy unusually for a public sector tech document doesn’t mention SMEs or startups. There’s not a single mention.
