In a new collaboration, the Police Superintendents’ Association (PSA), Amazon Web Services (AWS), Society of Evidence Based Policing (SEBP), Accenture and the Open University Centre for Policing Research and Learning (CRPL) have come together to encourage members of the workforce to put forward their ideas for innovation for the service.

The programme seeks to identify, test, showcase and support examples of excellence, with the chance for project finalists to receive support and mentoring in moving their pitch forward, and a finalist receiving in-depth technical support in helping their innovation to implementation.

Applications are welcomed from any member or team from the policing workforce, with an idea for a technical innovation aimed at solving policing challenges.

Nominations will be evaluated by a judging panel consisting of PSA representatives and external experts. Five shortlisted projects will then be supported in developing their ideas into proof of concepts, before being invited to present on their innovation at the annual conference of the PSA in September 2026, to an audience of peers and policing leaders. Finalists will receive support from AWS and Accenture in further refining their innovation from a proof of concept into a production solution.

Applications are welcomed until Friday 10th April 2026.
