BAE Systems Detica join forces with CEOP as strategic partners
BAE Systems Detica has become a strategic partner of the Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Centre.
To be awarded Strategic Partner, status Detica had to demonstrate how it has helped transform the UK’s response to tackling child exploitation. CEOP’s other strategic partners are Microsoft, the NSPCC and Visa Europe.
Detica is working with CEOP on a pro bono basis to improve the efficiency of its operations and its advanced data analysis tools are used to provide CEOP with actionable intelligence on the whereabouts of child sex offenders.
Peter Davies, Chief Executive of CEOP said: “Detica has made a huge contribution to CEOP’s work, helping us identify child sex offenders and safeguard vulnerable children. We are delighted to form a strategic partnership with Detica in recognition of the contribution it has made to our organisation and to the wider child protection community.
“The expertise, advice and technology provided to our officers has been enormously beneficial during a number of major investigations. As we move forward, the support we receive from Detica will continue to play a key role as we continue to improve the time it takes us to safeguard victims and bring more offenders to account for their crimes.”
Martin Sutherland, Managing Director of BAE Systems Detica said:
“I'm delighted that Detica continues to provide CEOP with such an important service, and as a Strategic Partner I hope we can make a big difference to how CEOP detects and investigates crimes against the vulnerable. Detica is fully committed to supporting CEOP and I am looking forward to developing our partnership further.”
