The Office of the Police Chief Scientific Adviser (OPCSA) maintains the website.
The OPCSA delivers independent and timely scientific and technology advice to NPCC members on strategic, policy and operational issues, and drives the strategic growth of science and technology across NPCC portfolios.
Here you will find the NPCC science and technology strategy which guides S&T across all of policing, an introduction to the Police Chief Scientific Adviser and an overview of the Police Science Council - a publicly appointed, independent expert committee which provides advice to policing.
Work with us to help shape the future of policing. We collaborate with researchers, innovators and partners to turn evidence, science and technology into practical solutions for operational policing.
