Mr. Liam Kidd:

There are a number of systems. Prior to the current modernisation and reform programme, we had an ICT strategy which identified 22 projects and systems which needed to be upgraded or replaced. PULSE is one of those. Part of the replacement for PULSE is not necessarily to throw it all away but to make it more accessible out on the field. The mobile project on which we are working is bringing some of PULSE, such as person and vehicle checks, out on to smartphones and mobile devices which will sit in cars. That project is at an early stage. It recently won a Tech Excellence award in that it will take the police station out to the front line to officers and patrol cars.
