Profile
Stephen Roberts set up Vigilant Research in 2015 in order to support the policing and justice sectors with IT insight. The company’s flagship programme is the Digital Policing Review, which will assess UK police forces according to a maturity and capability model for digital policing, with all insight and research made freely available to UK policing and Home Office personnel. Stephen is working closely with a number of national police programmes and bodies in order to ensure that the Digital Policing Review provides a valued and consistent research stream to the police ICT community. For the seven years prior to launching Vigilant Research, he ran Kable, the public sector IT market intelligence specialist which researches the detail of government technology spend. As Kable’s chief analyst, Stephen advised Whitehall agencies and technology vendors on market trends and strategies.
