Hear direct from police forces in the North West of England and Wales who share how they use the Microsoft 365 national blueprint to share and collaborate both across different police forces and with partner agencies.

Hear from Humberside Police Detective Chief Inspector Doug Blackwood, who supports the NPCC National Burglary Portfolio and Tisski who will share how a new PowerApp is being used in policing to support police officers and investigators with limited experience tap into the knowledge and skills of seasoned detectives when investigating burglary.

Policing recognises the distress that victims of burglary experience, the thought of a stranger entering their home and taking personal items is horrendous. Whilst investigating the crime to help bring offenders to justice is a key role of the police, those officers who attend also work to support the victim and the wider community to reduce the risk of further crimes. Also by recording the details of the offence in a structured way, policing can work with other agencies to design out the risk of crime or identify trends which enable proactive enforcement work, again helping to reduce the risk of being a victim.

In this week’s webinar we have invited Superintendent Tim De Vos and Process Manager Gunter Van De Wiele, who have both regularly tuned into the webinars and are self-proclaimed fans of the ‘PDS’ to share how using the same technology as we have in UK policing produced a working app in a matter of hours which immediately helped front line officers stop fraudulent transactions from local citizens bank accounts.

Tim and Gunter will share how the idea turned into a reality and how they have continued to develop and improve the approach to the position it’s now in where it’s the basis of an international approach preventing crime and helping investigators track incidents and helping to being offenders to justice.

The basic technologies being used in both the UK via the Microsoft 365 blueprint and the approach adopted in Belgium, and we have regularly featured in our webinars how empowered and engaged UK police forces have embraced the opportunities to use the modern connected core technologies now available to policing to make a real difference in addressing harm and enabling our officers and staff through digital.

In the Digital Innovation Garage webinar, we are joined by Matt Whalley, Police Digital Service Innovation Manager. We will explain
What the Digital Garage is and how it supports grass-roots innovation within policing,
- What outcomes to expect from the process,
- How this is possible in seven weeks, start to finish,
- Challenges being worked on in Garage,
How policing can start making use of this fully resourced, free, innovation as a service offering.

Scrutiny of the powers and responsibilities that police have to carry out our duties is critical to maintain the trust of communities. The use of Taser is a specific issue which is rightly highly scrutinised both internally and externally.

This new PowerApp has been designed to record details of when a Taser discharged during incidents with the aim to help the force to assess key and understand the characteristics and details of the incident. Helping to collect and review why the highly training officer made the challenging decision to the discharge the Taser. It records not only the details of the officers involved but also plots the locations of discharges on maps, which provides better information and insight for supervisors, training teams and leadership teams.


The application allows for supervisor oversite before being forwarded to Taser trainers to review and assess each discharge. The Taser trainer have the option to provide feedback, note best practice or areas for development. They can also refer the discharge to the force professional standards department.

You may have seen the success of Derbyshire Police in using the Microsoft 365 technology to help coordinate intelligence and tasking across the operational departments and teams. But due to recent improvements in Microsoft Lists it's now even easier to achieve this sort of capability.

The world of cyber security is constantly growing and evolving, and as such, the threat to UK Policing is also growing and evolving every day.

The risk of sensitive data ending up in the wrong hands or intelligence being used to threaten our security, or perhaps worse, police can’t see and respond to information that helps save lives.

Police Digital Service's Cyber Services deploys the most appropriate technology to secure critical information systems and is capable of assessing and building security solutions as an enabler, orchestrating a platform for digital change.

The PDS Cyber Services mission, with law enforcement, is to develop, establish and deliver functional cyber services, to meet UK policing digital ambitions.

The NMC supports forces by understanding and assessing the cyber threat landscape, enabling them to protect themselves and our communities from online threats.

To support the National Policing Digital Strategy 2020-2030 we harness the opportunities of existing and disruptive digital technologies and capabilities, to respond to the digital challenges we face, and ultimately to protect and enhance the experience for the public we serve.

The National Enabling Programme (NEP) formally closed last week after successfully achieving the programme objectives. The NEP continues to be widely praised for not only achieving the objectives but also by the way the programme team worked hand in hand with policing so the police service could achieve the outcomes.
