Police Digital Service

A word from our CEO, Ian Bell

Last month we celebrated our first year as the Police Digital Service (PDS), having transitioned from the Police ICT Company during 2021.

PDS CEO Ian Bell has written a blog reflecting on the achievements of the company’s first year, and the huge strides already made towards carrying out the five key ambitions of the National Police Digital Strategy.

A year in the making

This April marks the Police Digital Service’s (PDS) first year of operating. We have made significant strides forward, working with pace and purpose to support delivery of our strategic ambitions within the National Policing Digital Strategy. We’re working hard to keep the public safe by harnessing digital, data and technology capabilities to create a “seamless citizen experience” whilst “addressing harm”.

“This agreement enables an exciting synergy between the Police Digital Service, as a central coordinating organisation for UK Policing, and techUK, as an industry voice and national champion for technology innovation.”

Reflections from the NEP Delivery

On Wednesday 6th April, we held a 30 minute webinar at midday when members of the team shared reflections and learning from the approach. During the session, the team will shared feedback about what worked and what didn’t work so well, how the NEP ‘proactively’ listened and adapted to the issues raised and what we would urged colleagues challenged with the delivery of major change should consider.

National Policing Digital Strategy

“The pace of innovation and uptake of new technologies has never been faster, and it will never be this slow again.” ~ National Policing Digital Strategy.

Launched this year, the National Policing Digital Strategy 2020-2030 sets out a new digital ambition for the UK police service to leverage digital technologies to build capability. Our team is supporting police forces, law enforcement organisations and suppliers to develop the technology blueprint to help deliver the Strategy.
