Compucorp offers a complete Stop and Search electronic solution for the recording of information taken during the Stop and Search procedure. Compucorp's Stop and Search solution's design is cross device compatible and simple to manage and may be fully integrated into a police forces existing corporate database.
This solution offers a number of key benefits:
- Reduced cost of undertaking stop and search, both in terms of paper and manual data entry.
- Frees up time for frontline officers, as the time taken to enter the data directly into a radio is far less than for the paper-based approach.
- Reduced cost and risk of implementation, as the solution requires no additional hardware and is intuitive enough for someone to be trained using e-learning to further reduce cost.
- Better data quality and fuller intelligence picture. By replacing manual input with electronic recording, the solution reduces the scope for error and increases the value of the data that is available as intelligence.
- The solution also promotes best practice by providing checks to ensure that correct procedure has been followed in all cases.
With the recent entry into force of the Crime and Security Act 2010 and the amendment of PACE code A, the recording requirement for ‘stop and search’ was simplified and electronic recording was permitted. The solution will reduce the cost of dealing with stop & search, freeing up officers to spend more time on the front line.
