The National Policing Improvement Agency (NPIA) was set up in 2007 to support police forces improve the way they work. It is a police owned and led body, which has replaced national policing organisations such as the Police Information Technology Organisation (PITO) and Centrex, as well as functions that were carried out by the Home Office and the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO).

The NPIA has its origins in the ACPO response to the government's November 2003 Green Paper which proposed an agency to support the implementation of national standards in policing. The government committed to establish the NPIA in the Home Office five-year strategic plan, published in July 2004, and the police reform White Paper Building Communities, Beating Crime in November 2004.
