Digital Policing Portfolio
What is the purpose of the Digital Policing Portfolio ?
• The Digital Portfolio will be a single national owner of the policing vision for
Digital Transformation.
• It will ensure that all digital change initiatives conducted by police, or for police,
adhere to agreed strategic principles
• The portfolio, comprising three key digital programmes, will direct digital
transformation initiatives to align to national strategic drivers and requirements
National Delivery
How does the Digital portfolio fit
into the National picture ?
• The Digital Policing
Portfolio is an integral
part of the National
delivery landscape
• Collaboration across key
national programmes is
vital for successful
delivery
• Having a joined up
Transformational change
approach is a
fundamental requirement
Digital Policing Portfolio
The Digital Policing Portfolio is a critical strand of transformation work and its final delivery will
fundamentally shift the ‘ways of working’ across policing and with the Criminal Justice System.
The Digital Policing Portfolio has been formed to join up the activities of three digital Programmes:
Digital Policing
Portfolio
Digital Public Contact
Vision
To provide a simple, well known
and reliable digital contact
service between the Public and
the Police that ensures the Public
are informed and digitally
enabled.
Digital Investigations &
Intelligence
Vision
To enable Policing to protect the
Public through preventing and
detecting crime in a society that
is becoming increasingly digital.
Digital First
Vision
To integrate digitised policing
into the reformed Criminal
Justice System, to deliver the
best service to the Public.
Although the three Programmes are focusing on different aspects of the end to end Digital
landscape of Policing, there are natural synergies and dependencies between these programmes
that requires collaboration and joint-working to realise full benefits.
Digital First
Mission

•
Surrey/Sussex live with online crime recording (OCR)
Prototype Website developed for TVP/Hampshire
API developed for Niche interface to OCR
Collaboration with CJS Common Platform Programme
Publication of Landscape Review detailing policing maturity &
readiness
• Completion of pilot of Digital Case File in South Wales
• Establishing CDRIC as a research and development hub
Challenges Ahead
Significant Challenges
• Determining accurate volumetrics for storage & sharing of digital
evidence
• Risk of duplication and conflict with PCCs exploring proposals for
local criminal justice reform
• Ownership of Police.UK website
• Landscape Review for DPC
• Too many forces are independently trying to procure or develop
capabilities
Current State and Future State
Current state
DF
DII
• Paper- based files
• Separate multi-media
storage
• In person court presence
and custody hearings
• Limited digital investigation
capabilities
• Technology behind current
trends
This means the judiciary
system can be slow and
inefficient, mostly reliant
on manual handling of
evidence, including
multimedia
This means that the police
forces are lacking technical
skills and digital knowhow
to effectively handle
cybercrimes
Transition
Future state
• Digital case files
• Integrated digital data
access
• Video enabled justice
This will mean seamless
sharing of evidence and use
of digital technology to
make the judiciary efficient
and quick
• Digitally skilled and capable
officers
• Advanced and cutting-edge
technology
This will mean that police
forces have advanced and
modern technology and a
digitally skilled workforce
• Single online portal
• Self-service online system
This will mean that the
public can process online
transactions and have a
single portal to connect to
New systems
and technology
New standard
processes
New skills and
capabilities
DPC
• Multiple sources for online
contact
• Paper based transactions
This means paper based
handling of many
transactions and no single
route for public contact
