Empowering police to stop VAWG

VAWG (violence against women and girls) is a critical issue in UK policing. Through their Safer streets mission, the UK Government have pledged to halve VAWG offences within a decade. We help police identify perpetrators, shorten enquiry times and save time and resource.

Improve VAWG charge rates and outcomes, achieve safer streets

Our flagship software solution, CSAS, supports police in delivering accurate investigations at pace. Its efficacy in VAWG cases is supported by robust evidence from the College of Policing, PDS, HMICFRS and other agencies.

  • Accelerate VAWG investigations

    CSAS rapidly analyses digital data to an evidential standard, helping police confront suspects at the earliest opportunity and increase prospects of a positive outcome.

  • Digital Witness

    Our software lets you leverage digital data sets as crucial evidence, ensuring that victim-survivors feel supported and reassured they are not alone in providing evidence.

  • Boost victim-survivor confidence

    Improved investigative standards and effective digital data analysis helps you eliminate delays, speed up the investigation process and better support victims.

Saving your force time and resources

CSAS will help your force increase VAWG charge rates, work more efficiently and save both money and man-hours. One CSAS licence will pay for itself with a single guilty plea.

Supporting police in the delivery of Operation Atlas

CSAS has been a vital component in the success of Operation Atlas. This project is being undertaken by the Metropolitan Police and is tasked with improving the resolution of stalking and harassment cases. Its methodology is victim-centred and prioritises examination of the suspects' digital footprints.

  • Prioritising the digital witness

    "The 'digital witness' refers to digital data like phone records and social media, that evidences criminal behaviour. In stalking cases, CSAS helps investigators analyse digital footprints, identify patterns, and boost convictions and guilty pleas."

  • Reduced investigations times

    During the Operation Atlas pilot, average investigation times reduced by a third, from 137 days to 92 days. CSAS helped empower law enforcement to make these improvements by enabling accurate, data-driven decisions to be made at pace.

  • Increased charge and conviction rates

    CSAS helped the Met Police improve charge rates from 6% to 66% during the pilot, with 96% of charged cases resulting in convictions and 92% pleading guilty. Analysing digital evidence helped police reduce the burden on victims and led to shorter investigations
