PRIVATE security firm G4S and the Royal Mail can access the police national computer, the Government admitted last night.

They were among 32 organisations, including the DVLA and NHS approved to use the confidential PNC database.

The revelation that private firms can see the database will cause anger, but Home Office Minister Lord Henley said: “Authorised users can have names file-only access.


“Access by non-police organisations is governed by a panel comprised of the Association of Chief Police Officers, the Association of Police Authorities, the Home Office and the National Policing Improvement Agency.”

Authorised users can have names file-only access.

What does that mean? And what is the point?

Names File - This contains a large amount of information about people who have been convicted, cautioned or recently arrested (referred to as 'nominals' on the PNC). This includes links to fingerprints and DNA (the PNC is a text only computer so no graphical information is stored, photos that are taken whilst in custody have information relating to their location so enquiries can be made to obtain a copy of them). Nominals can be placed on the PNC as 'Wanted/Missing' if they are sought in connection with a crime, on warrant and failed to appear at court, AWOL from military service or reported missing. All recent previous arrests and convictions will appear on PNC as well as any impending offences - full disposal history is also included which will show the sentence handed-down for each offence. Numerous other items of information are also stored including all previous addresses, co-defendants, local intelligence, marks/scars and descriptions.

I used to get emails from HR, meant for my cousin of the same name (albeit spelt slightly differently) who is a manager big boss type person somewhere in the North West (or maybe London, I can't keep track). Anyway, she used to get emails about people who had criminal convictions and stuff... was all very interesting reading

but for access by royal mail to the police national computer would need the data subjects

EXPRESS SIGNED CONSENT FOR THE RELEASE OF ANY DATA

THEY JUST CANT NOSE IN THE P.N.C. WHEN THEY LIKE

Given the Government track record of safeguarding privacy of information, how will it be before this be found inside an "abandoned laptop" in a tube train ?

Keep it solely for Police access at least they have a proven track record of keeping it confidential.
