Get involved
All techUK's work is led by our members - keep in touch or get involved by joining one of the groups below
Digital Justice Working Group
A member-led working group exploring opportunities to drive digital transformation across the Criminal Justice System, working closely with partners from the Ministry of Justice, HMPPS, HMCTS and the Crown Prosecution Service. The working group is now closed for nominations. However, if you wish to stay up to date with this work, please get in touch.
Justice and Emergency Services Group
The JES Programme group is the supplier community that operates in the public safety, blue lights and criminal justice markets. The JES Programme Group’s aim is to create strong relationships between our members and these public sector customers, as well as to act as a critical friend for their digital transformation journeys.
Justice and Emergency Services Management Committee
The Justice and Emergency Services (JES) Programme has over 300 members who are represented by the JES Management Committee (JESMC). The JESMC is a group of 20 representatives of companies in techUK's membership who work together to oversee the strategic leadership and direction of the programme.
Robert Leach, Chair, Director, R Leach Consulting Katie Taffler, Vice-Chair, Criminal Justice Lead, Accenture
Interoperability for Policing Working Group
Lack of interoperability of tech solutions, systems and tools is a recognised challenge in the policing sector, and indeed more widely across the ecosystem. The InterOp-Pol initiative is member-led and aims to change commercial behaviour and mindset with regards to interoperability challenges, by facilitating the development of a charter. The charter is by industry and for industry and outlines a company’s commitment to openness and interoperability.
