Data Analytics

Exclusive to AFEP II members, sector-specific analysis is hosted on our new cloud-based data management platform which will give users immediate and secure access, and the opportunity to visualise, explore and interpret the wide range of information we hold.

Data helps forces and PCCs better understand their place and make decisions that improve societal outcomes for their diverse communities. Insights can also support financial resilience by providing granular detail in terms of support services costs, helping forces deliver and demonstrate value for money.

AFEP II new dashboards

AFEP II will continue to provide dedicated police sector stats and benchmarking analysis, driving better financial management and decision making across forces. It will help improve current comparative data and develop broader analytical and diagnostic capacity to help the forces deliver and demonstrate value for money. The new AFEP dashboards will be refreshed during AFEP II and new data dashboards are planned throughout the programme lifecycle – subject matter to be informed by the data sub-group.
