The National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) Innovation and Digital Summit 2025 will be taking place between 20 to 22 October 2025 in Liverpool, with applications for the Digital Awards 2025 now open.
The Summit is being organised by the NPCC Digital, Data and Technology Coordination Committee (DDaT) and the NPCC Science and Innovation Coordination Committee in coordination with the Office of the Police Chief Scientific Adviser, industry partners and Police Digital Service (PDS).
“The NPCC Innovation and Digital Summit is an opportunity to bring senior leaders and practitioners from across policing , together with those who have key roles in innovation, business changes, digital, data and technology in the law enforcement bodies.
“This is a Summit which is being put together by policing, for policing, so that we can ensure that those delegates attending are able to strengthen their digital capabilities and explore opportunities to improve the way they use technology in order to better protect the public and the communities we serve.”
NPCC Lead for Digital, Data and Technology Chief Constable Rob Carden and Lead for Science and Innovation Jeremy Vaughan.
The Digital Awards 2025 will be taking place during the summit on evening of 21 October, where policing will be recognising the outstanding contributions by police staff and teams across UK law enforcement agencies.
Nominations are open until 14 July 2025 and judging will take place following the closing date. Only UK based law enforcement agencies or their team are eligible to be nominated to receive an awards but nominations can be made by policing, partners or suppliers.
“These awards are a fantastic opportunity to honour and celebrate the digital pioneers who are shaping the future of policing. It is a great way to recognise the individuals and teams making a real difference on the ground – where dedication meets innovation in law enforcement, ensuring police forces have the tools they need to keep communities safe and secure.
“I am looking forward to seeing the innovation on display from our talented colleagues across the UK.”
Chief Constable Gavin Stephens, Chair of the National Police Chiefs’ Council.
