I am very excited to have had my first day, here at pam.  Using my experience and background in policing and criminal justice I hope to help bring to life the great stories, customer experiences and hard work pam is doing to help the public services sector to work together better, more efficiently and more securely.

I have seen a number of changes in policing and criminal justice in the past few years, from the need for public bodies to do more for less money to the historic change in police accountability through the introduction of Police and Crime Commissioners. This era of doing more for less is not just a passing phase but a new way of working and I am thrilled to be part of a company that embodies this mantra.

With the need for more efficiency comes the need for better, more joined up working practices but the realities of this can be difficult with a number of partners all working on differing computer systems, with different networks and often in different geographical areas. The Government recognised this with the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 and decreed that greater emphasis on partnerships and on things such as joint procurement would yield greater value for money for Taxpayers. This can only be achieved by introducing solutions that allow different organisations, from the police and Community Rehabilitation Companies to local authorities to work together securely and quickly- the days of newspaper headlines about sensitive files being left on a bus should be gone. Multi-agency working is now a way of life and the public expect all public bodies to be communicating in a safe and secure environment that is at the forefront of what technology will allow.
