Improving Knowledge Sharing Across UK Policing

In 2017, South Yorkshire Police was awarded funding from the Home Office to deliver a National Problem Solving and Demand Reduction Programme to help transform ways of working across policing. One of the biggest challenges identified was the lack of a central knowledge sharing platform for police forces to look to for best practice and to share information, processes and documentation.

The Police Digital Service teamed up with South Yorkshire Police to optimise and develop new features on the Knowledge Hub to support the sharing of problem-solving knowledge and notable practice across policing.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Who can register?

    You can register if you represent a recognised public-sector organisation or a private provider working closely with a public-sector organisation.

    If your organisation has already been white-listed, you can register and gain access immediately. If your organisation is not on the white-list, but you work within academia, consultancy, government and services pertaining to policing, or are a policing supplier, you will require sponsorship by an existing member of the Knowledge Hub. Contact our team via the Support Portal and we will walk you through the steps.
