Increasing the use of analytics within policing

Background

We want to be better at learning from other forces and organisations, listening to feedback but also empowering officers and staff to test new ideas, learn, train and share insight so we all excel in our roles. By promoting a creative, open and reflective culture, by experimenting more and innovating, we will, with input from colleagues, partners and the public, improve our service to Londoners.
