From the Minister’s reference to the College of Policing’s work on productivity, I fear that current activity is disproportionately focused on fashionable AI. In my experience, this can lead to expensive outside contracts freezing existing practices. What we need is to reduce the number of less important steps and functions in the police, and to look at experience elsewhere, such as lean thinking in business process. We found this very useful in the retail sphere: another huge employer of well-trained, decent people.
