The Tech UK Interoperability Working Group focuses on supporting the tech industry and helping the tech sector grow. They have a dedicated working group for interoperability in policing, which aims to address the challenges of systems not talking to each other and police officers lacking access to necessary data.
The group has made progress in collaboration with senior people in policing and has worked on initiatives such as an interoperability handbook and the police information strategy. The importance of interoperability and access to data is recognized, especially in the context of leveraging AI and joining up data for police officers.
