Technology group Defence Holdings (ALRT) has signed a deal with Gloucestershire Police to deliver a proof-of-value programme for AI-enabled automation of video and taped interviews.

This will enable the police force to use AI to convert unstructured PACE-governed interview data into structured digital summaries, making workflows faster and more efficient.

The PoV programme will set performance benchmarks and demonstrate whether the software is suitable, with a proposed second phase expected to assess evidential-grade accuracy and other requirements for a broader rollout next Spring.

Price: 1.9p -9.9%	P/E: n/a
Market Cap: £45m	Yield: n/a

This is the second positive news story on ALRT in less than a fortnight, and although no amounts are mentioned it could easily be the start of something big if it is a success and other police forces decide to follow Gloucestershire’s lead.

Also, intriguingly, there is no mention of Project Ixian in the statement, which means the firm could be sitting on more good news (see related news).

Given the stock’s extraordinary run, and how close we are to year-end, profit taking is not only inevitable but healthy. Worth keeping an eye on in 2026.
