North Wales Police have agreed a £17.8 million deal with CGI to provide ICT services and support for the next five years.

The contract is part of a wider transformation plan to maximise police time in the community, reducing the time personnel commit to conducting back office tasks.

According to Geoff Bradley, Business Services Director, the contract could produce estimated savings of £3.5 million. As part of the IT upgrade, the force will receive body-worn video cameras and mobile devices with GPS with built-in alerts and deadline reminders.
