Firm: Maddocks (NSW Police Force) 

Deal: Maddocks has assisted the NSW Police Force in a “once-in-a-generation” procurement of new integrated policing operating system

 
 

Value: N/A.

Area: Technology, government. 

Key players: The team was led by partner Jeff Goodall and senior associate Jack Evans, who were assisted by a team that included partner Brendan Tomlinson, special counsel Greg Palumbo, senior associate Harriet Royle, associate Vicki Howe and lawyers Ida Nguyen and Jordano Vasquez. 

Deal significance: NSW Police Force Commissioner Michael Fuller signed a contract with US-based public safety software provider Mark43 for the procurement by NSW Police Force of Mark43’s core operational technology solution.

The contract concludes a rigorous two-and-a-half year multi-staged and large-scale procurement process for an integrated policing operating system (IPOS), which will include call-taking, dispatch, records, investigations and forensics modules. 

Mr Goodall commented: “We are really pleased to have assisted long-time client NSW Police Force on this significant, once-in-a-generation transformation of its core technology platform, which will be of enormous benefit to NSW Police Force’s 18,000 sworn officers and the NSW community.”
