Improving Data Quality for Operational Efficiency and Freedom of Information

Overview

Gloucestershire Constabulary, a UK police force with 1,280 officers (plus 786 civilian staff and 170 Special Constables), is responsible for policing 560,000 people in 270,000 hectares (approximately 1,050 square miles) of urban and rural countryside. Community policing is at the heart of Gloucestershire Constabulary and in the mobile society that depends on accurate and up-to-date information. However, criminals do not respect county boundaries, so Gloucestershire Constabulary also owes a duty of care to the other 43 police forces of England and Wales, to ensure that the data in its records are accurate.
