PNC Data Quality and Timeliness (Revisited): HMIC Thematic Report
The Police Service in England and Wales records and retains vast amounts of information concerning crimes and criminals, in recent years relying ever more on computers for this purpose. This information has the potential to enable forces to undertake rigorous, systematic and scientific analysis of crime and criminal behavior and could become an absolutely vital part of the police armoury in the fight against crime. The core of this datais stored on the Police National Computer (PNC) nominal database 'Phoenix'. Every police force in England & Wales relies on the information on PNC. Its full potential can only be realised, however, if the data on PNC is accurate, timely and complete.
