The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment her Department has made of the potential merits of implementing a standardised procedure for recording debriefing records onto police reporting and notebook organisers (PRONTOs).

Answered by Dame Diana Johnson

Historically police forces and law enforcement organisations have made local commercial buying decisions through Chief Constables and PCCs for products such electronic notebook organisers. These organisers are used to increase efficiency whilst undertaking operational duties.

In support of increasing efficiency and effectiveness of data, the Home Office maintains under active review all processes needed to support police and law enforcement partners with their operational data requirements. However, the functioning of electronic notebooks remains a primary consideration for operational partners in policing and law enforcement.
