About Pocket Sergeant

Pocket Sergeant is a leading subscription‑based app used by police officers and legal professionals across England and Wales. Built by a former frontline police officer, the platform has grown to over 21,500 subscribers and is now entering its next phase of growth.

• Repurpose long‑form content into high‑performing short‑form clips
