It is one of the primary sources of information for operational policing and other law enforcement agencies in managing threat, harm and risk, and is also the gateway for interaction with the Schengen Information System, which alerts us and our counterparts to similarly vital data throughout Europe. Irrespective of future changes to national systems which may impact on the way police data is recorded, shared and managed, the Police National Computer is currently at the hub of the UK Criminal Justice System. The principles of using the PNC effectively and legally are enshrined in the statutory document The Police National Computer Code of Practice and other legislation. It is intended to be a valuable source of reference for those who have been trained in the use of the system.
