> Forces throughout the UK have been given a powerful new tool to investigate serious crime after an intelligence pooling facility has officially gone live.
>
> The Police National Database (PND) allows officers to share and access locally held information – enabling them to immediately see a full picture of would-be suspects, identify patterns of criminal behaviour and swiftly take action.
>
> And speaking at a press conference at the NPIA HQ in London, agency Chief Executive CC Nick Gargan (pictured) said he was delighted at the work of his staff in bringing the project, which began around seven years ago, to fruition.
>
> He added: "This has been a long road, but it has been a very complex undertaking and it is not something that was going to be achieved very quickly.
>
> "We now have a very powerful investigative tool and I would like to pay tribute to the team that has done this – it is a product of which we are very proud."
>
> The PND fulfils the primary recommendation of Lord Michael Bichard's inquiry into the Soham murders of 2002, in which he suggested that a national IT system to support police intelligence should be introduced "as a matter of urgency".
>
> A basic interim system was introduced shortly after the publication of the report while police staff plus external IT providers worked on the long-term solution.
>
> The introduction of the PND has been implemented on time and under budget. The new system will be used in tandem with the Police National Computer, which will continue to provide information on criminal records and convictions.
