Deleted police records were on outdated 1970s IT system
Urgent reforms are needed after thousands of crime records were wrongly deleted from an outdated IT system developed in the 1970s, a report says. "The report continues:"The team who operate it have worked together over a long period of time. The report says managers were too slow to act when the deletions were discovered, and that it took nearly a month for police forces to be informed. Plans to merge the PNC with the Police National Database, which contains CCTV footage and other intelligence data, to create a National Law Enforcement Data Service were first announced in 2014. "The infrastructure is absolutely, as we have seen from the Police National Computer issue, out-of-date, struggling, and we have to absolutely update our systems."
