"Since The IMPACT Nominal Index (INI) went live in December it has already thrown up a number of new leads in ongoing investigations:
A check on the INI by police hunting for a dangerous armed robber wanted by officers since 2004 provided vital new lines of enquiry;
A person alleged to have committed an indecent assault on a 15-year-old girl was linked by the INI to an identical case in another force; and,
One force carried out an INI check on a man acquitted of assaulting his girlfriend's eight-year-old daughter to see if he appeared likely to present a continuing risk. The system showed that the man had been linked to identical incidents in five other forces."
