National Policing Improvement Agency
The National Policing improvement Agency (NPIA) was formed in April 2007, its purpose being to make a unique contribution to improving public safety.
NPIA is a policing organisation acting as a central resource to the police service, working for ACPO (Association of Chief Police Officers), APA (Association of Police Authorities) and the Home Office to improve the delivery of policing.
As well as bringing improvements into the police service, the NPIA is responsible for managing national infrastructure and supporting the introduction of the best ideas from outside policing.
The NPIA is a non-departmental public body and is sponsored and funded by the Home Office. It is police-owned and police-led; with representation on the National Policing Board and executive leadership drawn from the police service.
Everything the NPIA does is aimed at improving public safety.
