I am informed by the Garda authorities that there are internal instructions on the timeframes for the recording of different types of incidents on the PULSE system. These timeframes reflect the incident type in question. I am further informed that in practice there is little delay in recording incidents on PULSE due to the availability of the dedicated Garda Information Service Centre, which provides an incident creation service to the Gardaí.

The PULSE system is designed to allow for the recording of incidents before the full details become available thereby encouraging the recording of incidents as soon as possible.
