Core Operational Solutions (COS) Project
Core Operational Solutions (COS) is a key component of the Digitally Enabled Policing Programme. Phase 1 saw the delivery of the National Missing Persons, CRaSH (Road Traffic Collisions) and Productions applications. Phase 2, which is currently underway, involves the development and delivery of National Crime, Case, Warrants, Direct Measures and an INSIGHT search tool. Subject to governance and support from relevant business areas, Phase 3 of COS could see the development of software to support the vulnerable persons database, intelligence and custody modules.
The DEPP COS Full Business Case (FBC) was approved by the SPA in November 2018. This enabled the procurement of the COS Core Solution (UNIFI) platform. The approved FBC supported the approach that the programme would need to deliver products that were of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to enable national rollout completion as quickly as possible in order to move away from legacy systems and processes.
The national Productions application has been rolled out and in use in 11 of 13 Divisions since October 2020. The intention for the remaining Crimefile Divisions (C and P) is to implement Productions at the same time as Crime, Case and Warrants.
The national Crime application was delivered alongside the Case application in D Division in September 2021, N Division in March 2022 and A Division on 10 August 2022. The current plan will see Go-Live in C Division on 16 November 2022, P Division in February 2023 and a combined delivery to E and J Divisions in April 2023. Thereafter, COS will be delivered to the remaining West divisions concluding late 2023. (See Appendix A – COS Roadmap)
