ROK Homeland Security providing a 'Vital Asset' in Policing and Security
Jonathan Kendrick, co-founder, Chairman and CEO of ROK Group PLC, the
mobile and web technologies, applications and services company has issued a
Statement today regarding ROK Homeland Security service:

London, 18th August 2011
'It's a fact of life that our security services and agencies, including the
police fighting all manner of crime to the armed forces fighting wars, the
guarding of our borders, the war on terror and a multitude of other threats
both domestic and foreign, are facing a very real and ever-increasing and
sophisticated level of threat from all directions.
It is no secret that the only real and major advantage we have in
countering these threats is the use of cost-effective and appropriate
technologies - particularly with regard to preventing such events using
predictive technologies, providing super-efficient information and
communication streams during events and in the gathering of evidence for
post-event analysis and action.
To enable our security and policing agencies to operate with much greater
efficiency is the key.
That said, it must be noted that while government spending, generally, is
under severe pressure, when it comes to the crucial War on Terror, there
are no budgets.
These factors are precisely why we as a company have invested so much in
the development of ROK Homeland Security (RHS).
The original version of RHS has undergone detailed and thorough trials, in
real-time and in fighting real crime, with several police and security
agencies in the US and the UK over the course of eight months, during which
we have received highly useful and positive feed-back which has led to the
further development and enhancement of the service.
What exactly is it about RHS that our police and security partners are so
excited about? Why are these agencies licensing the service commercially on
an ever-increasing scale and why has RHS been described as a 'vital asset'
in policing and security?
Everything about RHS is born of ROK's unique data-compression and
secure-encryption technologies with tamper-proof data storage.
An officer equipped with an RHS-enabled mobile is able to be tracked, via
GPS or triangulation, in real time with all movements stored securely. In
addition, he is able to gather evidence using the camera and video
functionality of the device and is able to patch-in to his CCTV camera
network remotely and on-demand wherever he may be. Furthermore, he is able
to communicate with his colleagues and be contacted by them, both verbally
and via text, securely. Crucially, he is able to alert his fellow officers
and his commanders to any personal danger he may be in through
location-based 'SOS' service.
Furthermore, we are currently integrating secure email, number plate
recognition and biometric capabilities into RHS.
Given the fact that many police and security officers are issued with a
mobile phone anyway, the added benefits of issuing them with RHS-enabled
handsets is becoming increasingly obvious.
It's simple to use, it works and it represents a step-change in terms of
cost-effective policing.'
