MoPI Compliance Technology

About MoPI (The Management of Police Information)

The UK has some of the strictest requirements for police information management: A Code of Practice as a direct consequence of the recommendations of the Bichard report. This Code of Practice (MoPI) stipulates that information:

• Should only be retained if required for a ‘Policing Purpose’
• Should be grouped according to the nature of the information
• Must undergo a Review/Retention and deletion process after a period of time commensurate with the nature of the information.

 This code is intended to:

• Ensure that information is managed consistently, throughout its entire lifecycle
• Allow information known about individuals to be readily identified and shared between police agencies across the UK
• Create a consistent national standard
• Help develop national information sharing protocols e.g. Police National Database.

 The new Memex technology ‘MoPI Tool’ provides integral functionality which allows UK police forces to meet these requirements as part of their everyday management processes.
