Summary
A £9 million UK policing contract will put Palantir in charge of the firearms licensing platform used to hold gun, explosives and poison records.
The decade-long deal covers police forces across England, Wales and other jurisdictions, with Palantir beating Accenture and NEC for the work.
The system sits at the center of firearms licensing administration, giving the company a long-term role in handling sensitive public-sector data for law enforcement.
The award adds to Palantir's government business in Britain and underscores continued UK reliance on large technology suppliers for critical police and public-sector systems.
