His primary responsibility has been to develop the community messaging, social media and consultation software to meet the particular requirements of policing and emergency services.This has included managing the technical and notification requirements of GDPR on behalf of more than half of the UK’s police forces.Neighbourhood Alert has grown over ten years to become the largest secure Active Citizen Database in the UK. Over active citizens propagate Police and other public sector partner messages to millions of contacts via the system. Mike managed the national Alert survey in Feb 2018 which produced responses from 87k members in one month. The system hosts national databases such as Neighbourhood Watch, School Watch, Farm Watch and the National CCTV Camera Register.Mike has been focused so far in 2018 (in addition to GDPR) on bespoke projects within several Forces, particularly relating to monitoring PCSO effectiveness and activity, cyber target hardening and the use of complex data sets to fill engagement gaps within local databases.The next milestone and logistical challenge will be coordinating the expansion of the front line police managed engagement facility pioneered by West Mids and Humberside Police.
