Public Safety, Justice and Defence

Empowering public safety transformations

For nearly two decades, bdna has been at the forefront of public safety, enhancing how agencies protect and serve communities through cutting-edge technology. We combine deep expertise in system integration, data security, and real-time decision-making, offering robust solutions tailored to meet the evolving needs of public safety organisations across Australia.

Challenges and opportunities

The public safety landscape is growing more complex. Agencies must manage real-time decision-making, vast data, and evolving cybersecurity threats, all while meeting tighter budgets and compliance demands. Ensuring seamless communication between multiple agencies is critical. However, these challenges also offer transformation opportunities: with the right technology, agencies can speed up response, enhance collaboration, improve community safety and leverage AI for predictive policing—while protecting sensitive information. Public safety can evolve into a proactive, data-driven force that anticipates and quickly responds to community needs.

Our deep involvement in the public safety sector

We go beyond system integration—we’re the driving force behind technology-enabled public safety transformations. We partner with law enforcement, emergency services, and public safety agencies across Australia, delivering scalable, mission-critical solutions designed for the unique demands of public safety. Our work focuses on enhancing communication networks, optimising incident response systems, and integrating real-time data platforms to support fast, secure decision-making.

One of our most powerful offerings, the bdna Public Safety SaaS Suite, serves as a digital front door to streamline operations from crime scenes to courtrooms. This suite consists of six key solutions that improve efficiency, accuracy, and traceability in public safety workflows.

Software solutions for law enforcement

Our software solutions streamline data and work management, helping agencies improve community safety.
