"Ultimately the aim is to replace INI with the Cross Region Information Sharing Project (Crisp), a system that allows the information to be automatically searched and accessed.
But police data is held in many different systems and many different formats, so Crisp's success will require agreement between the 43 forces that, in the past, has been hard to come by. Over the coming year the Home Office aims to expand the index beyond child abuse units and into other policing areas, but the full Impact programme will not be in place until 2010, three years later than was originally expected."
