Met Police upgrade command and control system

Under the 10-year programme, Leidos – the project’s prime contractor – will implement HxGN OnCall, a comprehensive portfolio of advanced public safety solutions, and the Frequentis communication platform LifeX, to deliver a system that captures emergency contacts from the public and subsequently coordinates deployment of officers to incidents, pre-planned events and other operations.

Ola Rollén, president and CEO at Hexagon, commented, “With the new Hexagon command and control solution, the Metropolitan Police Service will be able to modernise systems, improve service quality and increase employee engagement and well-being. By leveraging the power of data and the cloud, [it] can achieve greater agility and empower officers to better protect the people of London.”

The new HxGN OnCall command and control solution will provide a modern, easy-to-use, cohesive system with capabilities spanning dispatch, analytics, mobility and major event management. The cloud-based solution will drive efficiency within MPS and serve as a key pillar in the One Met Model 2020 and Policing Vision 2025 initiatives.
