The numbers behind faster, smarter policing.
Police forces don’t have time for technology that doesn’t deliver.
The figures below come from real deployments. UK police forces using Bedroq Seek are cutting investigation timelines, reducing manual review hours, and improving operational outcomes. The numbers speak for themselves.
Serious and Organised CrimeGreater Manchester Police:
Operation Rusk
GMP used Bedroq Seek to process a mountain of CCTV footage from a complex, multi-force drugs and firearms investigation, turning months of potential manual review into court-ready evidence that secured guilty pleas from all five defendants.
- There were 5,832 hours of CCTV footage to review
- This took 186 hours to process into a searchable database
- Cutting the officer review time to just 16 hours
- All defendants pleaded guilty and received custodial sentences totalling over 20 years
“One of our investigators, a self-professed non-technical user, completed an entire case, 5,832 hours of footage in just 16 hours. Overwhelming evidence meant all defendants pleaded guilty.”
– Inspector Alex Brown, SOCG Syndicate 2, GMP
Huge Cases: Multiple OfferndersNorthumbria Police:
Sunderland Riots
Northumbria Police used Bedroq Seek to tackle the 2024 Sunderland riots investigation – processing thousands of hours of footage from dozens of sources. The analytics identified individuals – including suspects actively hiding their faces – that manual review never could have, supporting a staggering number of arrests.
- 10,000 hours of CCTV footage was processed using Bedroq Seek
- This was a huge live operation, with tight time frames – meaning manual review was simply impossible
- The evidence found quickly led to 117 arrests
- This totalled over 70 years of successful convictions
We would never have arrested anything like the number of those people we did, without Bedroq and their Seek solution.
– DCI Graham Barr, Northumbria Police
Enterprise DeploymentCumbria Police:
Cumbria Constabulary polices one of the largest geographic areas in England and Wales with a relatively small force, making technology critical to how they operate. Bedroq built and now manages a fully integrated CCTV and video analytics system that has saved thousands of officer hours and accelerated investigations into serious crimes.
- 1,402 cases worth of CCTV footage processed over 2 years
- 29.8 years worth of video data reviewed
- 500 users all with access to Bedroq Seek video analytics
“Within the first two months of us going live with the system, we’ve found that it’s paid for itself in the time we’ve saved.”
– Carl Patrick, T-ACC, Cumbria Police
Small Cases: Big SavingsWest Yorkshire Police:
Operation Ponstead
West Yorkshire Police selected use this dedicated video analytics platform for their Homicide and Major Enquiry Team. Built to handle the largest, most complex investigations, the same capability scales down to give any investigating officer a faster, smarter way to work through footage – reducing hours of manual review to minutes regardless of case size.
- A case like Operation Ponstead would need 198 hours of officer time
- Based on an average Constable wage in the UK, this would cost £4,147 standard / £6,221 overtime
- Enter Bedroq Seek – reducing the officer time to just 5.5 hours – a 97% reduction
- Cutting the costs to just £115 standard / £172 overtime
- Final savings: Over £6,000 on a single case
A murder case re-reviewed after new intelligence. Bedroq Seek cut 198 officer hours down to 5.5.
