on behalf of the Home Office. CGI bought out the original PND operators Logica in 2012. The future of the PNC In 2016 it was announced that the PNC would be decommissioned at the same time as the PND contract expired in 2019 and under the guise of the National Law Enforcement Data Programme, a replacement would combine both systems; for the first time merging intelligence and conviction history against one nominal record. The National Law Enforcement Data Service would provide a less police-centric platform servicing all public enforcement agencies ranging from the Border Force, HM Revenue and Customs, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency and the Charity Commission. In order to ensure that only relevant data is visible to each agency, user-based access controls will limit the segments of records which an agency can access to the very minimum they require to achieve their aims. Public right of access Any person now has the right to view their PNC record, if any, online or via post, for free at www.acro.police.uk. This is done online where the user presents a list of their addresses for the previous 10 years and an upload of an ID document but this can also be presented offline. The results can be sent either by post or via email. This data is separate to any data a local force may hold on an individual e.g. statements, summons files, traffic fixed penalties, etc. This information can be requested through the relevant local force through a Subject Access Request under the Data Protection Act 2018.
