The firm operates three physical offices across the West Midlands (Small Heath/Birmingham as headquarters, Smethwick, and Willenhall) and runs a 24/7, 365-day free police station attendance service with nationwide coverage across England and Wales through a network of police station agents.

Letters and telephone calls are billed at £20 plus VAT. The firm acquires clients primarily through direct phone contact via its 24/7 emergency line, Google Reviews-driven inbound, Facebook presence, and personal referrals. Key leadership identified includes Abid Hussain, Basharat Hussain, and Jasdip Kaur Samrai (Data Protection Officer). The firm has no technology product, no API, and no disclosed AI capabilities.
