As part of the 2024 Police Digital Summit, we are launching the inaugural Police Digital Awards to recognise outstanding contributions by police staff and teams across UK law enforcement agencies.
The awards have three simple objectives:
- To highlight the work of police technology teams in their critical contribution to the delivery of innovative, secure, effective and efficient police services to our communities.
- Increase confidence of police staff that their contribution is recognised by national policing
- Generate positive communications opportunities about the investment and effectiveness of Police IT services.
The award categories:
Recognises individuals or teams using innovative approaches to tackle police challenges.
Honours individuals or teams going above and beyond to safeguard police systems and data.
Celebrates the use of digital data and technology to directly enhance services delivered by frontline officers and police staff.
Productivity / Value for Money
