Keeping People Safe

Message from the Chief Constable
             #KeepingPeopleSafe by Policing with the Community is the core purpose
             of the Police Service of Northern Ireland.

             Policing with the Community is about creating real participation between the
             police and all our communities - a partnership in which policing reflects and
             responds to our communities’ needs, and in which each community plays an
             active part in delivering a solution. The recent rapid development of technology
             means it plays a significant and central part in almost everything we do. Policing
             must embrace this new world and adapt to the new threats and opportunities it
             presents for 21st century policing in Northern Ireland.

             Our Information and Communications Services branch (ICS) ensures Information
             and Communications Technology (ICT) plays an integral part in delivering
             effective, efficient and sustainable solutions in support of Policing with the
             Community by providing and operating the ICT systems that support policing 24
             hours a day in Northern Ireland.

             Digitalised Policing will make it easier for the public to make contact with the
             police wherever they are in the country, enable us to make better use of digital
             intelligence and evidence and transfer all material in a digital format to the
             criminal justice system. Online crime may further increase; this includes fraud,
             sexual grooming, hate crime, cyber-attacks and cyber-warfare. The Internet will
             therefore have to be policed in a different way, with officers and staff requiring
             new skills to detect and investigate crime.

             The provision of fit for purpose ICT is a prerequisite to achieving our objectives,
             and we are committed to maintaining and investing in the ICT resources,
             infrastructure and projects that are key to maintaining our operational
             effectiveness and advancing our programme of business change.

Keeping People Safe

Driving Policing with Advanced Analytics
ICS is a key enabler of #KeepingPeopleSafe. Our Strategic Themes bring value through the data they produce. We recognise the power of information,
but like many other public and private sector organisations, managing ever increasing amounts of data and giving data meaning presents a challenge.
In this strategy term, we will develop solutions to exploit information in everything we do.

Funding
Our Police Service’s 2017/18 budget represents a significant                          40,000,000.00                                       Additional
reduction on the previous years’ budgets.
                                                                                                                                          Main Grant
The ICT budget represents less than 3% of the total PSNI DEL budget.
                                                                                      38,000,000.00                                       Downward Trend
The majority of ICS’s budget is committed to “run” or ICT operations –
maintaining and running the existing telephone, radio, data and computer
systems. Acknowledging this, ICS has practised a strategy of targeted capital         36,000,000.00
investment into those legacy systems that create a costly revenue tail. This tail
often results from expensive supplier support that is exclusive to too few clients.
Upgrades, replacements and system mergers create some headroom for “grow”             34,000,000.00
and “transform” projects by reducing the revenue pressure.

Regular financial planning allows us to identify assets that do, or have
the potential to, create revenue pressures, such as systems coming                    32,000,000.00
end-of-life. This triggers in-depth user engagement and pre-project
research into more cost-effective alternatives with a particular focus
on Commercial-Off-The-Shelf options.                                                  30,000,000.00

In terms of ‘growing’ and ‘transforming’ the digital portfolio,
Capital is bid for annually and on the back of Governance agreed projects.
                                                                                      28,000,000.00
Example capital investments have been Radio refresh, new base stations,
in vehicle telematics (LOCATE system), Digital Interview Recording,
Body Worn Video camera, Mobile ID and much more. In addition to savings,
these investments have also increased radio coverage into more rural                  26,000,000.00
areas, improved evidence gathering for some of our most vulnerable
victims and increased operational time out of station
                                                                                      24,000,000.00
As the following bar graph illustrates, these efforts become ever
more important as our revenue budget continues to fall year on year
(Note: 2013/14 was the year of G8 when PSNI received additional
                                                                                      22,000,000.00

to develop the skills they need to participate in the digital world and help
harness the productivity benefits of digital innovation.

Development in this Strategy period will focus on contract and budget
management, and technical integration to enhance our services portfolio.
Increasing budget cuts have presented a challenge to ongoing ICT training
required by technical staff. Nevertheless, ICS has invested in a range of
cost-effective alternatives. Throughout the life of this Strategy ICS staff will
benefit from the following:

     • eLearning – ICS has taken advantage of the wealth of online ICT training,
       which staff can undertake at home or in the office, any day and at any time;

     • Peer Coaching – a number of volunteers will receive IL5 level Coaching
       training to support their peers’ development in particular areas;

     • Lunch ‘n’ Learn – conference attendees and colleagues with specialist
       knowledge are occasionally invited to speak to the Branch over lunch.

Information Security
The Police Service creates, stores, handles and transfers a very large amount
of information. Much of this information is sensitive in nature and its
compromise may result in a significant impact in the areas of personal
safety, public order, privacy, investigation of crime, commission of legal
proceedings and critical national infrastructure. It is therefore vital that
policing maintains robust Information Security structures and processes.
This work is documented in Service Instructions and Standards.

ICS works closely with its internal partner, Information Security Unit (ISU),
placing critical importance on the Confidentiality, Integrity and Assurance
of all our information.

ISU’s vision is, “To create a culture that is embedded across PSNI which
enables the effective use of information to support our strategic policing aims”.
In doing so, it contributes to ‘Keeping People Safe by Keeping Information Safe’.

Information security has a clear governance structure supported further by
the independence of ISU in overseeing the work and solutions delivered by
ICS and is considered an exemplar of best practice in information security
throughout the criminal justice community. ISU actively reviews and reports
on threats, vulnerabilities and risks to the Police Service’s information to better
inform business decision-making.

This Digital Strategy aligns to ISU’s five strategic objectives, as defined
in the current Information Security Strategy:

     • Maintaining Proportionate and Affordable Risk Management;

     • Embedding a Culture of Personal Accountability;

     • Supporting Innovation and Transformation of Services;

     • Ensuring Safe and Secure Information Sharing; and,

     • Meeting National Policing obligations.
