We help shape the future of how UK police forces harness their data, offering secure and cost-effective data solutions.
Currently, UK Police forces are battling a rise in violent crime, budget cuts, time restraints, the threat of recession and varied team experience levels.
Surrounded by these challenges, forces face the critical responsibility of safeguarding some of the nation’s most sensitive data. The vast data sets, containing highly personal information, require robust security measures to prevent breaches and ensure public trust.
UK police forces must fully adapt to the profound and continuing shifts in patterns of crime while simultaneously ensuring their technology is secure and up-to-date. This is where Simpson Associates comes in.
We have worked with over 60% of UK forces and understand the importance of efficient data management. We go beyond mere data interpretation; with over 3 decades of data experience, we empower police forces with incident crime reporting, dynamic crime mapping, demand forecasting, and AI-powered redaction and more.
Simpson Associates empower UK police forces to leverage data as a powerful weapon against crime.
“One of our key objectives of working with a data partner like Simpson Associates was to ensure there was a good level of knowledge transfer to take ownership of the solution at the end of the project. Simpson Associates expertise within data analytics space, together with their wealth of experience within the Police sector, enabled us to achieve our goal of becoming self-sufficient and more importantly gain reliable and trustworthy insight from our data.”

Every police service is unique, both in their challenges and in their data systems. But they are all trying to reach the same goal of boosting efficiency and putting a stop to crime.
Despite a number of obstacles standing in police forces way, we have curated a number of solutions, designed to fit every force and tackle their particular focus.
Our force collects and stores information, but it is stored in disparate systems that don’t communicate well. This effects our information sharing process and collaboration between different departments and forces. How can we join up our data stores?
Creating a single view allows your data sources to talk to each other, ultimately streamlining your forces daily processes. Our Data Analytics Accelerator for Policing ensures quality analytics and enables speedy data sharing with other forces. This will work wonders for your force.
As our team is always busy, it is often difficult to know where resources should go and how to implement them at the right times. Is there a data-driven approach that can help our IT department mitigate instances of wasted resources?
Start by collating your data to ensure predictions are accurate and provide a fresh perspective. Partnering with forces, we’ve created a Demand Forecasting for Policing solution, designed to give you all that while allowing for growth with every new case that’s investigated.
As timing is crucial, we are looking for a way to speed up our processes, while ensuring maximum security. As redacting documents is a massive part of our day-to-day, is there a way we could streamline redacting personally identifiable information?
