Join us on Policing TV as we speak with David Bailey, Head of Events and Brand Engagement at the Police Digital Service, following the highly successful National Police Chiefs’ Innovation and Digital Summit in Liverpool.
From conception to execution, David shares how this in-house event united nearly 800 attendees — including senior police leaders, tech innovators, and suppliers — to push forward the UK’s digital policing strategy.
We explore the importance of collaboration, the role of sponsors and suppliers, key agenda highlights, and the behind-the-scenes challenges of delivering an event of this scale — all driven by the vision of “policing by policing, for policing.”
Whether you’re in law enforcement, tech, or public sector leadership, this is a must-watch insight into how digital transformation in policing is being shaped from within.
