Connectivity in the police sector | Virgin Media O2 Business

In a sector where no two days are the same, you need connectivity that’s ready for anything.

With the kind of support that won’t let officers down, wherever they are, whenever they need it.

Derbyshire Constabulary has made the most of our mobile technology to keep officers out and about and at the heart of the community.

Facing budget challenges and demands for greater efficiency, Derbyshire Constabulary turned to technology and has boosted officers’ operational effectiveness as well as time on the street.

‘Officers can do everything they used to do in the police station or in their offices (whilst) on their beat, in their vehicles without returning to police stations.’

‘Continuous, real-time bodycam footage gave us the assurance that if an incident occurred, we’d be fully informed and in control at all times.’

When world leaders gathered in Cornwall for the 47th G7 Summit in June 2021, Devon & Cornwall Police deployed over 6500 police officers and staff, some of those on mutual aid from police forces around the country.

The ask to us was for critical network coverage everywhere onsite that would not only save time, but also provide a critical boost to safety and resource deployment.

Our policing lead spent 18 years as an officer, and we have a dedicated team who already work with 30 police forces across the UK, so we understand your world and challenges.

Everything’s tailored to your needs, with recommendations to get more from your current tech while also enabling you to adopt modern policing innovations.

Your own dedicated account manager will guide you every step of the way, making sure there’s no disruption to your force, your staff or the public.
