THE NATIONAL POLICE CHIEFS’ COUNCIL (NPCC)
Policing is operating in a time of global change and uncertainty, the public and our staff need a service which is responsive, able to tackle future challenges and embrace opportunity.
The National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) brings UK police leaders together to set direction in policing and drive progress for the public.
We achieve this through:
Coordination – by joining up the operational response to critical national policing issues to deliver policing today and shape the future.
Collaboration – by working in partnership as part of the whole policing system and beyond to improve public safety.
Communication – by sharing the collective expertise, views, and action of UK police chiefs.
The Office of the Police Chief Scientific Adviser
As articulated in the NPCC Strategic Plan 2021-#####, science, technology, analysis, and research (STAR) is central to our delivery of a world-class police service. The Office of the Police Chief Scientific Adviser (OPCSA) sits at the heart of this ambition. OPCSA delivers independent and timely scientific and technology advice to NPCC members on strategic, policy and operational issues. It drives the growth of Science, Technology, Analysis and Research (STAR) by encouraging an integrated and ambitious set of activities across NPCC portfolios. Additionally, it fosters collaboration across Whitehall and with the wider science community both nationally and internationally. The CSA supports the whole policing sector and works closely with the
College of Policing
, the
National Crime Agency
, the
Association of Police and Crime Commissioners
,
His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services
, individual constabularies and government ministers.
