Agenda item

To receive a report of the Commissioner of Police.

Members considered a report of the Commissioner of Police on the progress of the CoLP in response to HMIC inspection reports. Two actions remained outstanding in relation to custody inspection recommendations, that were reliant upon the progress associated with the National Health Service Custody Healthcare Service.  Two  further actions remained outstanding that related to software solutions for auditing / monitoring integrity.

The Assistant Commissioner advised that there were plans to upgrade the Force’s IT systems and he added that the Force did not currently have the IT capacity and capability to effectively monitor and audit all of its information systems, but this was currently being completed manually within PSD as stated in the plan. However, progress was being made to identify and install appropriate software. The Assistant Commissioner advised that these actions were standing items and would be revisited and assessed at the next meeting, in light of the anticipated completion date of April 2014.
