How can the policing further deliver seamless interaction with the Crown Prosecution Service and legal representatives?

Background

"The ability to pass information quickly, accurately, and securely, and the ability to intercept or disrupt communications of others.

The effectiveness of many aspects of policing, from working with public health partners, to engagement with the criminal justice system and the management of a large-scale emergency, all require efficient information sharing. How can policing advance its interconnectivity and further deliver seamless interaction with the Crown Prosecution Service and legal representatives? The challenges here are diverse because the forms of information and types of queries vary across needs. Nevertheless, today’s workforce expects connectivity to be as easy and as seamless as they experience outside of work, and so this is what we strive for."

Next steps

"We welcome your engagement with our ARIs in the following ways:
• If you have evidence that completely or partly supports or answers one of our ARIs, we invite you to share that with us. For any ongoing research relevant to policing and crime reduction, we encourage you to register your research on the College of Policing’s research projects map, which has been designed to promote collaboration and support requests for participants.
• If you are, or plan to be, carrying out research that relates to one of our ARIs, we’d like to hear about it. While we cannot respond to speculative approaches for research funding, we will where possible act to support your ambitions, including finding you policing partners where possible.
• If you are submitting a funding or grant application that aligns with one of our ARIs, we hope that referencing policing’s ARIs will help to strengthen your case for the possible public impact of the research.
• We will use the ARI document to structure our academic engagement, prioritise events and build new connections with external partners. We will be using our ARIs in our engagement with UKRI, and we will publish any opportunities for funding via our website https://science.police.uk/
Please send any correspondence and questions to [email protected], including ‘ARI’ in the subject heading."
