Enabling collaboration between industry and policing
Edward Preece, Chief Executive Officer of the Police Digital Service, will outline how national digital leadership is helping policing and industry work together more effectively in the public interest.
Grounded in the National Police Chiefs’ Council Digital Strategy, the speech will focus on the core capabilities of the Police Digital Service and how they support consistent, interoperable technology and data services across policing. Edward will explain how these capabilities set clear standards, reduce fragmentation and enable forces and suppliers to design solutions that work seamlessly together.
The talk will highlight how the Police Digital Service provides assurance, guidance and shared services that empower collaboration, improve efficiency and support frontline policing. By strengthening how digital, data and technology services operate across forces, these capabilities help officers and staff prevent harm, respond more effectively and keep communities safe.
The session will demonstrate how national collaboration, underpinned by strong digital capability, leads to better outcomes for the public and greater confidence in modern policing.
