Secure prisoner transportation and custody services
Your right to privacy is very important to us. We take the security of your information seriously and have policies and processes in place to ensure it remains safe. This policy describes ways we collect information, how we use it and how we protect it.
GEOAmey was awarded three contracts from the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) in August 2011 to provide Prisoner Escort and Custody Services (PECS) across three regions of the UK in an agreement spanning 10 years. In July 2016 GEOAmey started to work with the Youth Justice Board, and subsequently the Youth Custody Service (YCS) on the Secure Escort Service of Children and Young People (SESCYP) contract to further utilise our national logistical operation of vehicles and depots.
In January 2019 we were awarded the contract to provide Prison Escort and Custody services in Scotland for a period of 8 years.
We currently deliver these services across England, Wales and Scotland. We oversee the custody suites of over 185 courts and have 19 vehicle bases around the country. We have a head office in Manchester and a support services office in Leicester. Our support centre is based in Wakefield for England and Wales, and a control centre in Bellshill for Scotland.
