Promaps and Third Party Systems
Past experiences highlight the importance of integration and information sharing between police systems
Information sharing enables early intervention, preventative work to safeguard
and promote welfare, and for wider public protection. The public need to be confident
that their personal information is kept safe and secure
The Police service as a whole
is responsible for ensuring that information is shared appropriately as part of day-to-day
practice and that it is done so confidently, proportionately, and lawfully
When developing the Promaps system a critical requirement was to ensure that
it could function alongside, and interact with, existing custody management systems to
provide enhanced capabilities and enable Police Forces to have more control over how,
when, and where both custody images and Promaps video captures are utilised
Having connectivity between your custody management system and Promaps helps ensure that you maintain control of, and can fully manage, all of your imaging data.
For example, Promaps will be able to receive deletion requests from your custody management system and when these deletions take place Promaps will provide a comprehensive
audit of where and when that particular image has been used in previous witness albums, ID parades, and research projects. This will then enable the force to take decisions
as to whether those witness albums, ID parades, and research projects should be retained or deleted. The audit will also identify when an image has been downloaded from
Promaps and used for another purpose so that these images can also be identified and deleted as required
