Cambridgeshire goes live on custody system

SunGard has announced that Cambridgeshire Constabulary has gone live on NSPIS Custody and Case Preparation systems, which are supplied by SunGard Vivista and managed by the Police Information Technology Organisation (PITO).

The systems help reduce the administrative burden on the police by linking to other systems and preventing double keying. John Neil, director of operational services at PITO, said: “We are very pleased that Cambridgeshire Constabulary has gone live with the NSPIS systems.

“The NSPIS systems can help the force realise benefits through more efficient working and less paperwork when processing a person through custody.”

DS Julian Eales, director of intelligence, added: “The go-live at Cambridge has been remarkably smooth. I put this down to close working relationships between police staff, SunGard Vivista and PITO.

“Thanks to the hard work of many people, we have managed to overcome any implementation issues and keep to our planned go live dates.”
