Making best use of big data to predict events and trends that impact on policing

Background

We want to harness data and use advanced technologies to our advantage, rising to the challenge of a fast-moving data-driven digital age. We will make information and insight more accessible internally, and externally, to support evidence-based decisions and promote public confidence. We will strive to enhance our global reputation for excellence and expertise in policing.
