This will see Ocular upgrade WMP’s existing surveillance solutions infrastructure with the latest technology through the installation of new systems across custodial suites and police stations throughout WMP’s estate.
The first site is expected to go live in April 2025, with the remaining sites being delivered over the next 12 months.
Ocular will also deploy Sheffield-headquartered Synectics’ Synergy software, which will deliver security and surveillance capabilities, including multi-site management, secure video storage, and streamlined evidence management.
Amanda Larnder, chief executive officer and chief financial officer, said: “We are pleased to strengthen our long-standing relationship with West Midlands Police.
“This project sees our solutions continuing to play a vital role in enhancing security and operational efficiencies for one of the largest police forces in the country.
“It is a strong endorsement of Ocular’s sector expertise and its ability to deliver tailored solutions that meet the unique demands of policing and high-security environments.”
