National Data and Analytics Office update: Justice and Emergency Services Council – session summary

Kate Fisher-Stevens and Luke Tedbury set out the NDAO's priorities and how NDIES will underpin police reform. Watch the JESC session recording now.

We were pleased to welcome Kate Fisher-Stevens, Director of the National Data and Analytics Office (NDAO), and Luke Tedbury, Technical Lead for the National Data Integration and Exploitation Service (NDIES), at our last JESC meeting for a briefing on the NDAO's role and priorities, and the development of NDIES as the technology backbone of police reform.

The session provided industry with:

  • An overview of the NDAO's remit and growth, including its role in improving data standards, records management, and cross-government interoperability through the new Data Interoperability Group (DIG).
  • An introduction to NDIES, its "buy first" delivery approach, six core value propositions, and clarification of what NDs is not (not a data lake, not a replacement for local innovation, not a supplier adjudicator).
  • A commitment to develop clearer routes for industry engagement, including publishing data standards (potentially via the NPCC National Policing Standards Library) and using the Policing Problem Book to signal future needs.
