The purpose of the charter
The Police Industry Charter has therefore been created to set foundational principles upon which industry partners and UK policing collectively agree to adhere to, for the purpose of:

  • Promoting a culture of open dialogue between policing and industry on evolving challenges and opportunities.
  • Expanding the opportunities for reciprocal leadership development across policing and industry, in particular in relation to risk management, public engagement, crisis management, workforce management, digital transformation and agile delivery.
  • Increasing the return on investment for products and services developed by industry and consumed by UK policing.
  • Supporting the delivery of policing’s modern, competitive science and technology infrastructure.
  • Increasing the opportunity for police officers and staff members to develop critical and niche skills in collaboration with industry subject matter experts, and for industry to better understand the roles and requirements across policing.
  • Aligning industry to the principle of system and product interoperability as a core fundamental design requirement.
  • Improving policing’s ability to provide enhanced services to the public, more quickly, by driving constant innovation in the market.
  • Supporting policing in harnessing science and technology which creates efficiency and capacity in the system, allowing policing to deliver an increasing quality of service to the public.
  • Building further transparency into the police and industry relationship by making public the principles by which we agree to operate against.
  • Supporting and enabling the parts of the system local to national who are responsible for product design, skills development, commercial engagement, and implementation.
  • Encouraging reciprocity by placing equal emphasis on both industry and policing to adhere to the principles in order to be successful.
