Report of the Chamberlain.

The Committee received a report of the Chamberlain concerning the City of London Police (COLP) Device Refresh.

The Committee were reminded that the Device Refresh aimed for staff to have a consistent experience with their devices across the organisation. Given that the COLP had devices that were end of life, a decision was sought under urgency procedures from the Police Authority Board in late 2024 to allow for the drawdown of funds to place the order for the devices.

A main risk identified was that Windows 11 readiness work would not be completed before the device roll out. A Member queried why this was the case. It was explained that the new devices would have the Windows 11 build, and this risk would reduce as the devices were being rolled out.

RESOLVED – That the report be received, and its contents noted.
