PNN3 goes nationwide with events

PITO, in association with Cable & Wireless is running a series of events entitled PNN3VEALED: What PNN3 Means For You. As part of a regular programme of PNN3 activities, these events will illustrate its capabilities, provide opportunities for networking and ensure any PNN3 questions are answered.

Launched in November last year, PNN3 builds on the success of its PNN2.

It is an exclusive framework arrangement between PITO and Cable & Wireless and offers a range of voice, secure data and other services to 54 police forces in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, as well as more than 100 organisations in the wider criminal justice community.

These services enable the secure transmission of data between police forces, criminal justice and police-related agencies.

Every time a local police force makes contact with a neighbouring force, for example to find cell accommodation for prisoners, request additional officers, share briefing documents or photographs of suspects, PNN3 enables it to happen, securely and reliably.

The arrival of PNN3 ensures there is a common communications platform capable of meeting the information exchange requirements of the police service for the next five years.

In addition, it ensures that all forces and agencies are working to the same robust levels of security so that police data is not compromised.

PNN3 also provides significant cost savings through economies of scale.

Some of the many PNN3 services available include Criminal Justice Extranet (CJX), Impact Nominal Index (INI) and the Casualty Bureau service.
