There are currently nine main programmes with 33 projects all working to deliver the Blueprint.
This is very much work in progress with the first two years of the plan laying the foundations for
the future ensuring we have the in-house capabilities to become a more digitally able and
mobile force by 2020.
Broad themes of the programme cover improving the deployment of officers, connecting with
the public in a more meaningful way, updating outdated and inefficient systems and working
closer with partners.
We will also be looking at improving the deployment of officers and speeding up investigations
by overhauling and updating the technology they have access to.
This is all geared up to allow us to continue to provide a first class service to our communities
from 2020 and beyond.
The changes come at a time when we continue to operate within a framework of
unprecedented financial challenge.
The force has faced a considerable period of austerity with a budget reduction of 23 per cent
since 2010. This trend is set to continue.
I am though clear that even without austerity this programme of work is necessary to
modernise policing, making it fit for the 21st century.
The existing force operating model will be unsustainable by 2020 which is one of the reasons
why we have embarked on this ambitious transformational programme.
It is also equally important that we can respond to and police the changing needs of our
communities.
To do that we need to develop our own use of technology in order to improve the service we
deliver - that is at the heart of the changes we intend to make.
We will continue to update you on this important programme of work as it develops. If you
have any questions please do contact your local policing unit commander.
