For Every Response

Police Scotland has invested heavily in creating a ethical framework to govern the way it uses data in its work and this is now shaping the way it considers and implements technology across the force.

As Chief Digital Information Officer for Wiltshire Police and Chair of the National Change Board for Digital Data and Technology, John Derryman sits at the intersection of local policing challenges and national transformation. Speaking to Catherine Levin on the latest episode of For Every Response, he discusses infrastructure, AI, cyber resilience and why investment remains the biggest barrier to progress.

The role of AI in policing is often framed in terms of future risk, opportunity and transformation. But in the latest episode of our For Every Response podcast, Catherine Levin sat down with the interim Director of Police AI, Alex Murray, to explore what it actually means to deliver AI into frontline policing today, and why the challenge sits as much in delivery and structure as it does in technology.

The role of chaplaincy in policing is not always well understood, but it is becoming increasingly important as forces navigate growing pressures around wellbeing, community trust and organisational change. In the latest episode of our For Every Response podcast, Catherine Levin sat down with Reverend Matthew Hopley to explore how the role is evolving and why it matters.

Each year, around 150 volunteer clinicians from across the world converge on the Isle of Man to support one of the most demanding and dangerous sporting events on the calendar.

Catherine Levin found out more on the latest episode of For Every Response.

The RNLI operates a fleet that is far more complex than many outside the organisation might realise. Catherine caught up with two of the people responsible for making everything run smoothly, for the latest episode of For Every Response.  

When the new national reporting service Report Fraud launched earlier this year, we wanted to understand what difference it could make for victims of fraud.
