"The first step towards a national database of police force information was officially launched by the Home Office.
I-PLX, the interim police local cross referencing database, is an important development in vetting and security checks and represents a significant advancement in the protection of the vulnerable.
The information held on the I-PLX database will supplement the existing process for Criminal Records Bureau's (CRB) checks. It will highlight if any force, not just those where the applicant has lived, holds relevant information about an applicant. This will reduce the CRB's reliance on an applicant providing their previous addresses and providing a fuller picture of information across the country.
I-PLX marks a significant milestone in the sharing of information across the criminal justice system."
