“On behalf of techUK I would like to thank and welcome the members of the Justice & Emergency Services Council. The relationship between national policing and the private sector in the field of effective, efficient and joined up technologies have never been so critically required, and I am confident that the depth of experience and commitment of the individuals, their organisations and the whole membership of the techUK JES Programme will double down on their previous and impressive commitments in striving to deliver and maintain public safety. A busy tenure for the years ahead.”
