Policing Performance Committee - 18 September 2024

Date : 18 September 2024

Location : online

There is also a growing demand for improved biometrics data insights to evidence the value of biometric data in policing, and to support current retention regimes.

Given the limited capacity across both organisations, it is unrealistic previously defined timescales will be met.
