Policing expertise within Sopra Steria

At Sopra Steria, we don’t just support policing transformation, we live it. With over 700 years of combined policing experience across our Public Safety Group, our team brings unparalleled insight to the challenges, pressures, and realities of modern policing. From front-line officers to senior leaders, control room operators to IT specialists, every individual we hire brings deep-rooted, lived experience of the force.

We understand the human element at every point of the journey, from the officer in the control room to the victim reporting a crime. We build technology that supports, not replaces, those human connections. And it’s this understanding – this depth and breadth of expertise – that allows us to partner with our customers, delivering meaningful transformational change.

This blog series introduces you to some of our colleagues whose careers span operational policing, leadership, and specialist roles. They know what it means to serve the public, support victims of crime, and safeguard officer wellbeing, because they’ve done it. Their unique perspectives inform the design and delivery of services that genuinely meet the needs of policing today. We know policing, because we’ve lived policing.
