VIQ Solutions has announced that Spark & Cannon, VIQ’s Australia-based reporting and transcription services and technology distributor, has been awarded a new contract with the New South Wales Police Force (NSWPF) for the provision of secure transcription of police recordings.

“This is a significant win,” said Sebastien Pare, President and CEO of VIQ Solutions. “This prestigious contract cements Spark & Cannon’s position as the leader for secure law enforcement technology and services in Australia. It assures solid revenue for many years as the Company continues to expand beyond historical court markets.”

The NSWPF is Australia’s oldest and largest police organisation and one of the largest in the English-speaking world with 16,000 employees. NSWPF serves a population of more than seven million in New South Wales from more than 400 police stations.

Spark & Cannon has provided secure transcription services to NSWPF since 2007. As with previous awards, Spark & Cannon will be a participant on a panel of multiple transcription contractors appointed by NSWPF.

With the new contract, Spark & Cannon’s portion of the workflow has more than tripled, making them the main transcription supplier for the NSWPF.
