BlackBerry® fashions the latest in mobile working for Coventry.
Coventry City Council found that the latest in mobile working not only boosts productivity and leads to faster decision-making, but also improves the work-life balance of those involved.
Set in the heart of the UK, Coventry is at the centre of a major industrial and commercial area. A cosmopolitan city, where 80 different languages are spoken, it is currently undergoing a £4 billion regeneration programme aimed at providing new employment opportunities and meeting the demands of the 21st century.
Ranked as a top location for relocating technical specialists and policy makers by the recent independent Lyons Review, Coventry City Council is responsible for both the everyday operations of the city and its long-term development.
The city council itself is the biggest organisation in Coventry with more than 16,000 employees. It is judged by the Audit Commission to be one of the fastest improving local authorities in the country.
There are 54 elected councillors on the city council to represent the interests of more than 300,000 residents. They are supported by the council officers who have to carry out the policies of the elected councillors and ensure the smooth, cost-effective running of day-to-day services.

Case Study - Fife Police Constabulary
State of the art policing.
Fife Constabulary is responsible for policing an area of Scottish territory that borders the River Tay at its northern most edge and the River Forth on its southern boundary. Eastern Fife is predominantly rural while Central and West Fife have large urban and industrial areas.
This geographical diversity is also reflected in its 350,000 population. A substantial number are employed in the agricultural industry, but many more are employed in a thriving modern economy consisting of electronics, precision engineering and a large service sector.
Approximately 1,000 police officers, supported by an administrative team numbering 500, police this varied county. Their duties mirror the entire spectrum of typical incidents found in much larger communities.
The police force is split into three territorial divisions, aligned closely to areas administered by Fife Council. Headquartered in Glenrothes, the constabulary also has divisional offices in Kirkcaldy, Dunfermline and Cupar as well as 18 police stations in other major towns and a number of villages.
