Digital, Data and Technology

The policing model as we know it was built at a time when the technology available to criminals, and us as a service, was far simpler. Today, virtually every crime has a digital element, often involving advanced criminal tactics and vast amounts of complex data. 

This presents policing with a serious challenge, and we recognise that we need to modernise.

In line with the aims of the National Police Digital Strategy 2025-2030, the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) Digital, Data and Technology Coordination Committee (DDaTCC) is in place to ensure the best use of technology and data, in ways that will maximise public safety, improve our service and ensure value for money.

Led by Chief Constable Rob Carden, DDaTCC is made up of the National Data and Analytics in Policing Board, a series of sub-boards, and the National Data and Analytics Office.

DDaTCC members, supported by colleagues in forces, are working hard to ensure an innovative, data driven service that is fit for purpose in a modern society.
