Justice & Emergency Services
We bring together industry, government and public safety organisations to support digital transformation across policing, fire and rescue, justice and wider blue-light services. Our focus:
- Influencing public safety policy
- Connecting industry with justice and public safety services
- Supporting digital transformation across public safety and justice agencies

Technology is transforming justice and public safety services.
We represent the supplier community operating across public safety, criminal justice and blue-light markets. We bring industry, government and public sector organisations together to collaborate on the challenges and opportunities facing justice and emergency services.
We support digital transformation across policing, fire and rescue, justice and wider public safety organisations. Through policy engagement, market insight and industry collaboration, we help members understand strategic priorities, emerging technologies and future opportunities.
We work with stakeholders across Justice, Policing, Fire and Rescue services and wider public safety organisations to encourage innovation, improve interoperability and support the delivery of modern, citizen-focused services.
This programme sits within techUK's wider Government & Public Services portfolio, helping support innovation, resilience and improved public service delivery across the UK.
