PDS Launch National Platform for Policing Data and Technical Standards

National Standards help ensure the quality of planning, design and implementation of digital, data and technology projects within policing. A governance structure ensures that the standards (as well as policies, principles, templates and guidance) are both relevant and up to date; it also highlights the specific standards that are aligned with the National Policing Digital Strategy. If you are working with Policing on the development or procurement of any IT service you will be able to source standards from the National Standards platform.

There are many benefits of adopting standards. Used appropriately they can help us avoid duplication of effort and avoid re-work while also ensuring the latest best practices are implemented.

The programme is run for policing, by policing. So if you have an interest in any of the categories and want to be kept updated and consulted on proposed changes, then you can request to join a category community group. The programme relies on its users helping keep the platform useful, useable and used, so if you can’t find what you are looking for on the platform, please suggest it. We have a dedicated team supporting the programme who are happy to help/advise on standards in any way they can, get in touch with us if you have any questions.
