Building Our Resources & Infrastructure

PCCs work through the APCC to ensure that policing is funded to deliver high quality services to the public and makes the most efficient use of those resources. With the ICT budget currently accounting for over 10% of police spending, this includes a key strand of APCC work with a focus on technology systems and end-to-end digitalisation of policing.

Our resource and infrastructure priorities are:

  • To work with government to help ensure that policing has the funding and resources it needs to deliver against the public’s priorities.
  • To play our part in driving the modernisation and transformation of the police service, realising efficiencies, and ensuring forces can take full advantage of new technologies.
  • To support our PCC-led companies – the Police ICT Company and BlueLight Commercial – to enable them to deliver transformation on behalf of policing.
