DDaT provides the Met with information and communications technology (ICT) and digital and data services to help frontline officers and staff do their jobs more efficiently, keeping up to speed with developments in technology and make recommendations for new equipment and systems that will help modernise policing.

The Commissioner and Management Board have determined that the Met will be a data driven organisation. This means treating our data in the same way we treat our people, methods, and technology, as a strategic asset.

The Data Office is the single place of accountability across the Met that:

  • owns and drives the data compliance and analytics agenda
  • brings together the accountabilities that are currently dispersed across the Met business areas.
  • consolidates and further develops existing Met data and insight services
  • enables data sharing and collaboration to serve the public and external partners

DDaT is committed to creating an inclusive working environment. We support hybrid working, and the hiring manager will be happy to discuss arrangements for this role.
