Summary
The Home Office is one of the original great Departments of State and its role is fundamentally important: to keep Britain’s streets safe and its borders secure. With a budget of £14.7bn, the Home Office leads on immigration and passports, drugs and crime policy, counter-extremism and counterterrorism and works to ensure visible, responsive, and accountable policing in the UK. The Public Safety Group works closely with partners across policing, the National Crime Agency, and fire and rescue services to ensure they are as efficient and effective as they can be in delivering front line public services. We are delivering the Emergency Services Mobile Communication Programme – one of the biggest and most complex national IT programmes to improve communications between police, fire and ambulance services. The new Emergency Services Network (ESN) has the potential to transform how Britain’s emergency services operate, providing first responders immediate access to life-saving data, images and information in real-time.
