Public Safety & Justice

Our public safety and justice team combines private sector leading practices with an understanding of the public sector’s diverse needs, helping criminal justice, public safety and law enforcement agencies overcome barriers created by outdated case management systems, as well as improving information sharing, collaboration and trust in judicial institutions.

Governments face numerous challenges implementing public safety agendas, including budgetary constraints, decisions on optimizing spending and investment, and aging IT infrastructure and systems that lag behind departmental needs and modern trends. Given the nature of public safety and justice work, enterprise, program and project risks are mission-critical considerations that often result in longer lead times for public safety organizations to innovate.

Our Public Safety & Justice team collaborates with state and municipal public safety agencies, court systems, emergency management agencies and public authorities with significant safety responsibilities to help navigate these challenges. EY professionals focus on enhancing your agency’s capability to deliver improved public services, making sure you have the support and experience needed to overcome these obstacles and achieve your goals.
