This decision seeks approval to extend the two current MOPAC GPS pilots, for knife crime offenders and high risk domestic abuse perpetrators, until March 2023. This extension is based on ministerial approval from MoJ, which has now been obtained for this period.

The remaining £160,000 will be used for the funding of police, probation and project support resources, to ensure effective delivery of the GPS pilots.

This decision seeks approval for the continuation and expansion of Digital Policing (DP) ESN Strategic Project Team resources for the period commencing start of October 2022 to end of March 2024 (18 months).

This is required in order that the MPS can progress ESN activities to prepare the MPS for transition from Airwave to ESN in conjunction with the Home Office Emergency Services Mobile Communications Programme (ESMCP).
The MPS and its partners in the 3 Emergency Services (3ES) have no option other than to transition to ESN in order to maintain access to a national mission critical voice solution past the Home Office advised National Airwave Shut-Down date (currently circa. 2028). Failure to transition is untenable as without critical voice communication the MPS would be unable to discharge its responsibilities effectively and the resultant Health and Safety risk to Officers, Staff and members of the Public would be unacceptable.
