Scottish Police Services Authority – Information Communications Technology

The Scottish Police Services Authority – Information Communications Technology (SPSA-ICT), formerly known as the Scottish Police Information Strategy (SPIS), was an organization within the Scottish Police Services responsible for developing new national systems that had a cross-force scope. The personnel consisted primarily of around 50 police staff, mainly IT professionals specializing in a range of technologies, including a large number of Java EE developers and Oracle Database Administrators (DBAs). The team also included some development staff specializing in .NET technologies. Non-technical staff included project managers, administrative staff, software testers, senior management, and a small number of seconded police officers from Scotland's eight police forces and from SPSA-Criminal Justice (formerly SCRO), who provided specialist knowledge on projects under construction.

However, since the formation of Police Scotland in 2013, many of SPSA's functions were integrated into the national police force. This included key ICT responsibilities, with Police Scotland now managing digital infrastructure and projects related to police services. In 2018 Police Scotland has also published a 10-year digital transformation plan, which focuses on upgrading its technology infrastructure, enhancing mobile capabilities, improving data integration, and increasing cyber resilience.
