This decision concerns the implementation of the required infrastructure and application upgrade work on the CDW/IIP services to ensure the CD/IIP service over the next 3-5 years.
The Corporate Data Warehouse (CDW) and Integrated Information Platform (IIP) is a critical system within the MPS that takes data feeds from multiple legacy systems CRIS, CRIMINT, CAD, CUSTODY, MERLIN, STOPS and allows officers to search across them using a single screen. The data feeds contain a subset of the core data records and stores these within the Data warehouse. IIP is the User interface that officers use to trigger a search from within CDW.
The current CDW/IIP Infrastructure and software have reached end of life and Digital Policing will need to upgrade both to ensure the current service levels are maintained going forward.
The CONENCT project are planning to expose CONNECT data into CDW/IIP for searching by officers and this increased load will put the current service into further risk if the core components are not upgraded.

The MPS and NCA formed the OCP in 2004 targeting level 2/3 organised crime comprising staff from both organisations. Various covert authorities can be granted under various Acts.
Applications can be made to either the MPS or NCA covert authorities unit and must be made by an officer of the same organisation as the authorising officer. Under the relevant Code of Practice (CoP) applications are made using a single gateway. This leads to inefficiency in the granting of authorities taking into account the way the unit is jointly structured and this does not allow this process to be efficient therefore a Sec 22A agreement is required to allow authorities to be requested and authorised within the current structure.

Since April 2021, the VRU’s place based MyEnds programme has been providing support and funding for communities to lead and deliver interventions across eight neighbourhoods affected by high and sustained levels of violence across London.
Following the promising first year of the programme, the Mayor was pleased to announce on 12 July 2022 a further £9 million funding in the Violence Reduction Unit’s flagship community-led programme to tackle violence and deliver positive opportunities for young people. This will allow the VRU to learn and build on the promising first year of the programme and continue investing in communities with a view to embedding sustainable practices and resilience in London’s communities. The VRU extended the delivery of the MyEnds programme across all eight currently commissioned neighbourhoods for a further 15 (fifteen) months from 1 April 2023 until 30 June 2024. This has been approved via PCD 1149 dated 25 May 2022.
The VRU’s commissioning approach is centred on using evidence and intelligence to ensure projects are operating in the areas they are needed most, and that learning is being effective captured and evaluated for long term change. Following the extension to the MyEnds Programme via PCD 1149 dated 25 May 2022, the VRU is keen to also extend the evaluation and capacity building elements of the programme to ensure constant iteration and development grounded in evidence and dynamic learning.
This proposal is to allocate a total of £250,000 to fund the evaluation and capacity building activities complementing the delivery and implementation of the MyEnds programme over 15 (fifteen) months from 1 April 2023 to 30 June 2024.

The rollout of smartphones will increase accessibility and mobility of MPS officers, in turn this is expected to improve victim care, support the MPS officers & staff, and rebuild trust and confidence in the police.
The proposal is to acquire and provide 29,737 smartphones to all officers and identified staff at a capital cost of £8.6m (£8.2m in 2022/23 and £0.4m in 2023/24), with revenue for on-going support of £0.8m in 2022/23 rising to £3m per year from 2023/24. There is an ongoing capital refresh requirement of £3m in 2024/25 and £9m in 2025/26. The costs will be funded in part from the 2022/23 underspend, a reallocation of existing budgets and by adding to the Capital Programme in future years.
