Upcoming events
The Interoperability for Policing Working Group is a member-led initiative and aims to accelerate the interoperability of police IT systems.
The group has been formally established in 2018 and has reached a strong consensus that further engagement between tech industry and senior policing stakeholders could ensure the benefits of interoperability.
The group is working in collaboration with PDS and the Home Office to understanding the challenges and barriers faced by policing in relation to interoperability.
