He further said that when the system is put in place, it would be easier for the police to take and analyse the reports made by any person in any police station. It would also make it easier for police to identify suspects’ and complainants’ information, including addresses, telephone numbers and other personal information. “This system will equip users to identify persons of interest and allow the user to easily pull up a list of persons who are known to be child molesters, sex offenders, deportees, murderers, witnesses and also to know where they are,” he added.
PRMIS, according to the minister, will have the capacity to work along with other systems in the justice system, including those of the Prisons, DPP and the courts.
At the launching, a demonstration of how the system would work was given by an official from the UNDP.
Officers are expected to benefit from a two-day training programme on the operation of the system.
