We will unlock more value from data while maintaining public trust. We will do this by improving national support and guidance on data management and drive convergence to a national data architecture and model.
Data is an essential asset to enable digital transformation. We need data that can be securely accessed by our workforce and our public sector partners to improve our services for citizens, the private sector and to enable positive community policing outcomes.
Data will help us shift from a reactive policing model, to designing proactive and preventative solutions to improve how we protect the public from harm.
Recommended actions:
1. Drive data quality and consistency by developing a reference data management guide nationally, to be deployed locally.
2. Develop, and converge towards, a common abstract data model, with supplier adherence, to facilitate system integration and data aggregation.
3. Improve secure access to data between police and partner organisations through in-force data sharing and access mechanisms, including federated identity management.
4. Define new relationships and responsibilities for data governance to drive a high-performing data
culture, where data-sharing and quality are optimal.
5. Develop a national data ethics governance model to ensure data is acquired, used and shared in an
ethical way to safeguard public trust.
6. Continue to build national automation, analytics, and AI capabilities to enhance data quality, facilitate data-sharing across systems and extract insights to deliver better service outcomes
