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, is an organisation within the Scottish Police Services responsible for the development of new systems with a national, cross-force scope. The personnel consist primarily of around 50 Police Staff, mainly IT professionals specialising in a range of discrete technologies, with a large contingent of those staff Java EE developers and Oracle DBAs. SPSA-ICT also retains a small number of development staff specialising in .NET technologies. Non-technical members of staff include project managers, administrative staff, internal personnel resources, software testers, senior management, and a very small number of seconded police officers with specialist knowledge of the areas impacted by projects under construction. Seconded police officers are drawn from Scotland's eight police forces, and from SPSA-Criminal Justice (formerly SCRO).
