| COMPACT Misper |  |
| Detective Superintendent Derek Forest of West Midlands Police said: 'COMPACT has enabled us to streamline our entire missing persons process and has helped West Midlands Police make great savings in manpower and resources Persistent runaways from local authority homes had been a major problem for us. Because the COMPACT system operates in real time our officers can see how many times they have gone missing before, set a risk assessment and even suggest places to look for them based on previous enquiries. Having accurate information, that can be quickly accessed, has helped us achieve a huge reduction in this type of missing persons case.' Chief Inspector Adrian Bloor of Staffordshire Police said: 'Having instant access to historical information can prove crucial when investigating missing persons cases - this is exactly what COMPACT provides us with. It ensures that such information is available to officers across the force at the touch of a button.' Tim Beaman, Head of IT at the NMPH, said: 'WPC continue, via their system COMPACT, to help police forces record a high quality of data in relation to missing persons' cases, and to transfer this data efficiently and securely to the NMPH. This enables the charity to focus on fulfilling its key roles of finding missing persons and supporting those they leave behind.' Detective Inspector Barry Sweeny, of the Gloucestershire Constabulary's Force Intelligence Bureau, said: 'Having an electronic link to the NMPH does away with lots of time consuming paperwork - and reduces the risk of human error - which means officers can get back on the beat more quickly.' |
