ALGO-CARE has been created for policing to use as a decision-making framework for the deployment of algorithmic assessment tools in the policing context. This helps translate key public law and human rights principles into practical considerations and guidance that can be addressed by public sector bodies. Concerns around transparency and accountability cannot be addressed by a one-size-fits-all approach. The factors identified by Algo-care necessitate the careful drafting of procurement contracts with third party software suppliers to require disclosure of algorithmic workings in a way that would facilitate investigation.

ALGO-CARE is endorsed by the NPCC Business Change Council and the NPCC lead for Data Analytics. This was reviewed in September 2021 and found to still be current.
