Cambridgeshire Constabulary has gone live with
NSPIS Custody
and Case Preparation systems from SunGard Vivista.
The systems, managed by the Police Information Technology
Organisation (PITO), help reduce the administrative burden on the
police by linking to other systems and preventing double
keying.
John Neil, director of operational services at PITO, said, “The
NSPIS systems can help the Cambridgeshire force realise benefits
through more efficient working and less paperwork when processing a
person through custody.”
Detective sergeant Julian Eales, director of intelligence at
Cambridgeshire, said, “The go-live at Cambridge has been remarkably
smooth. I put this down to close working relationships between
police staff, SunGard Vivista and PITO. We have managed to overcome
any implementation issues and keep to our planned go-live
dates.”
The current roll-out of NSPIS Custody and Case Preparation to
the English and Welsh police forces is seen by PITO as a major step
forward in the way that police forces are modernising their
business processes.
SunGard Vivista has been working with PITO and the police forces
to implement a programme of change management and business process
re-engineering.
Next month sees the creation of the National Policing
Improvement Agency (NPIA), to support the forces to improve the way
they work across many areas of policing. The NPIA will replace PITO
and will take on significant areas of its operations.
