Thematic Reports

NEW REPORT: This report aims to go behind the headlines and beyond the simplified facial recognition (FR) debate that we see in so much of the media today. The report highlights the types of FR in use by policing and others around the world, and explores the big debates around that use. We interviewed 34 stakeholders – including policing practitioners, academics, regulators and suppliers – to share their views and expertise on this complex issue. This analysis includes an insightful foreword from National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) Chair Chief Constable Gavin Stephens.
 Information management is a crucial part of policing, yet too often it is regarded as a low priority by forces; this independent report from Policing Insight, commissioned by Capita, highlights the risks of underestimating the vital role the function plays, the challenges in changing culture and technology, and the opportunities of leveraging significant policing outcomes from well-managed data. Based on interviews with senior police leaders, regulators, and experts with decades of experience both inside and outside policing, it takes a deep-dive into what’s going wrong and the implications of this for modern policing.

The report features FoI data focusing on forces’ 999 and 101 data, digital contact, use of Single Online Home (the national digital platform) and social media.
