Modernising the Met: Realising your vision
The Met has a clear mission: to keep London safe for everyone. At Atos we understand the enormity and complexity of this task, and we’re here to support. We know that technology cannot solve every issue facing the Met, but believe it’s an essential tool that will help realise Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley’s vision of Modernising the Met.
Data is key. It’s become the new weapon for modern police forces in fighting crime. New digital systems unlock greater intelligence and make it available to more officers. By democratising data, the Met and its partners will be able to exchange, analyse and act on it in real time. While powerful new computing technologies will process huge quantities of information to support better operational responses.
This is not future thinking. Atos uses data and technology to drive innovation, insights and intelligence for police forces and other public bodies across the UK and rest of world. As an established partner with the Met, we can utilise our learnings to help against your three core objectives: building trust, cutting crime and maintaining high standards. The only question is how?
How can we use data to build trust with Londoners?
In early 2022, we completed the transition of the apps management system. In collaboration with Capgemini, we transitioned the entire system and more than 50 legacy apps to the cloud with no disruption. These apps are now easier to manage, and the changes have led to a 65% increase in productivity.
Further modernisation of Met apps and the integration of live feeds will cut manual data entry for officers, so they can spend more time out in the community where visibility helps to build trust. It will also improve quality and governance so that your data is known to be both reliable and fit for purpose.
How can we apply technology to help solve and predict crime?
Data must be accessible and understood by the people behind desks as well as those in frontline roles. This is where Atos brings a unique understanding of stakeholder needs and how to harness data for effective policing outcomes.
Ethical artificial intelligence can free up more time for officers to focus on solving crimes. There is also plenty of potential for automation to streamline information collection and analysis. While Atos expertise in cybersecurity can help the Met upgrade its ability to fight new forms of cybercrime.
