National Retail-SIRCS system to go live on 1st October 2009
As well as the standard SIRCS features and benefits the national retail-SIRCS system will provide partnerships with a National Retail crime and environmental SIRCS database.
Retail SIRCS partnerships will be able to view information from around the country giving them a complete overview of retail crime in the UK. The Empowering-Communities Team will act as over all 'super administrators' and will have the responsibility of issuing national crime alerts and bulletins. Suspect/offender profiles and incident reports will have to be moderated by administrators before being uploaded on the system. The Retail-SIRCS National Scheme will help tackle cross border crime, reduce the fear of crime and increase community intelligence.
The Retail-SIRCS National Scheme can be accessed securely via a computer or mobile telephone.
