The issues extend to national agencies. An inspection of the National Crime Agency’s data exploitation capability reported that the NCA relied on hundreds of legacy IT systems, limiting its ability to routinely access and analyse routine organised crime intelligence, and to exploit bulk data in the new law enforcement data service that the Minister mentioned earlier, which is due to replace the national policing computer. Inspectors recommended the development of a clear plan and timetable to deliver routine bulk analysis of that database. It would be helpful if the Minister could confirm whether these recommendations have now been implemented.
