VAWG Digital and Tech Working Group
Deputy Chief Constable Maggie Blyth leads the VAWG taskforce, established in 2021 to deliver a step change in the police response to tackling violence against women and girls. The VAWG framework for delivery focuses on restoring public confidence, relentlessly pursuing perpetrators and creating safer spaces. This work is well underway and leading to tangible improvements that have been highlighted in the recent HMICFRS inspection on how policing tackles VAWG.
RASSO Tech Working Group
This working group will, in-part, serve the RASSO Technology Partnership (RTP) Board, chaired by Chief Constable Sarah Crew, which is charged with a mission to improve capability in RASSO investigations. This working group will help to innovate, challenge and inform the strategic needs and requirements whilst also linking to the wider digital strategy across digital stakeholders.
Digital Justice Working Group
A member-led working group exploring opportunities to drive digital transformation across the Criminal Justice System, working closely with partners from the Ministry of Justice, HMPPS, HMCTS and the Crown Prosecution Service. The working group is now closed for nominations. However, if you wish to stay up to date with this work, please get in touch.
Interoperability for Policing Working Group
Lack of interoperability of tech solutions, systems and tools is a recognised challenge in the policing sector, and indeed more widely across the ecosystem. The InterOp-Pol initiative is member-led and aims to change commercial behaviour and mindset with regards to interoperability challenges, by facilitating the development of a charter. The charter is by industry and for industry and outlines a company’s commitment to openness and interoperability.
