About the DoI

The importance of information, communications and technology (ICT) in modern policing cannot be underestimated. At the Metropolitan Police Service, our officers and staff rely on innovative ICT solutions to get the job done.

At the Directorate of Information (DoI), it's our job to supply the technology and communications infrastructure. Working with all areas of the Met, we provide advice, guidance and support to develop ICT management solutions for more effective and efficient policing. We're also responsible for the use and strategic direction of ICT within the Met. As new technologies emerge, we're able to implement new solutions and increase the reliability, flexibility and performance of our existing ICT solutions and services.

The scope of the high profile, security critical projects we're engaged in is huge. Some examples of what the DoI provide include: real-time operational support for counter-terrorism activities, maintaining crime reporting information and analysis software which aid crime detection improving information quality, and utilising new technology to provide enhanced communications. And that's just for starters.

Join the DoI and you'll be involved in helping to provide hugely influential ICT solutions that will continually improve the Met's capability for dealing with the operational demands of policing a city as diverse and unique as London. Not to mention prepare our capital for some of the biggest cultural events ever seen in the UK.
