IT Database 'not fit for purpose'

Former detective constable Tony Thorne, who was part of a pilot project in 2013, told the BBC the NCIA was known to be "clunky", "clumsy" and to produce inconsistent results.

During the pilot, Mr Thorne said users sitting side-by-side at computer terminals were watched while they conducted identical searches. When these searches yielded different results Mr Thorne says he was immediately concerned.

"They came up with different data - the bio details that were coming back were completely different," he said. "There was something wrong there."

Well since Chief Constable Watson joined have they done anything about domestic violence,  helped victims of stalking, reduced stabbing crimes,  we just don't know what impact has been made,  or maybe someone else knows and can give us statistics?
