Women in Data has proudly announced a new partnership with National Police Chiefs’ Council.
The National Police Data Board (NPDAB) was established by the NPCC to provide co-ordination and standardisation across policing for data and analytics.
The formation of this board has created a mechanism to help address and drive forward the opportunities available from the unique data sets available within policing. Under the NPDAB are five workstreams which focus on different aspects of data and analytics capability adoption, one of which is focused on data and analytics skills.
“Women are underrepresented in policing (and across the digital profession as a whole) so our partnership with Women in Data marks a significant step forward. It underscores our commitment to supporting, championing, and developing our female data and analytics talent across Digital, Data and Technology (DDAT) departments within policing closely supported by our male allies.”
National Police Chiefs’ Council.
By joining forces, the NPCC aims to leverage collective strengths, share knowledge, and contribute to the overall growth of female data and analytics talent and show the diverse range of roles and responsibilities within data and analytics across policing.
