Department Overview

On any given day, every moment matters to someone, somewhere. And every moment, Motorola Solutions’ innovations, products and services play essential roles in people’s lives. We help firefighters see around buildings and police officers see around street corners. We keep utility workers connected and visible to each other with real-time voice and data communication across the smart grid. And we provide the situational awareness first responders need when a moment brings catastrophe. We help people be their best in their moments that matter when everyone around them is at their worst.

We help 999 or 112 operators answer calls from the public and dispatch out nearby responders, enabling the right response when every second counts, and ultimately helping our customers save lives.

As our solution has grown from a small start-up to one of the leading offerings for Fire & Police agencies, our customers now trust us to solve more of their problems. The Guardian team is distributed across the UK, with hubs in Glasgow, Leicester, and Hemel. We currently have around 150 employees.
