The Police Digital Service (PDS) provides the National Digital Collaboration Platform (Knowledge Hub, for short). This is a collaborative information sharing platform used by forces, partner organisations and third-party suppliers.
How it works
Knowledge Hub supports the storage and exchange of national policing information between the national policing community and its public and private sector partners.
Benefits
The Knowledge Hub community is growing all the time, joining up local and national policing.
