Question to the Home Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what arrangements are in place to ensure that Police and Crime Commissioners are fully consulted at all stages in the design, build and roll out of the National Law Enforcement Data Programme.
A Police and Crime Commissioner represents PCCs on the National Law Enforcement Data Programme (NLEDP) Board, along with an officer from their representative body, the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners (APCC). As members of the Programme Board they are a part of the delivery and assurance of NLEDP and are consulted throughout every stage of the programme.
The PCC and APCC representatives are responsible for briefing other PCCs through their normal channels and regular updates are given to the PCCs' technology and digital portfolio group and General Meetings of all PCCs.
The PCC and APCC representatives also attend the National Police Chief’s Council (NPCC) Chief Constables Reference Group for NLEDP that consists of Police Chief Constables regularly meeting to discuss and scrutinise programme delivery.
