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.
