I am advised by the Garda management that access rights to PULSE within An Garda Síochána are currently provided to members based on rank and role within the organisation. Access rights are controlled via an Information Technology Systems User (ITSU) access rights process.

There are currently 430 networked locations having access to the Garda IT System. These networked locations account for approx 85% of all incidents recorded on PULSE, which is complemented by the Garda Information Services Centre in Castlebar where details of incidents are phoned in by investigating members attached to networked and non-networked stations.
