Law Enforcement Data Service

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government when they expect the Law Enforcement Data Service to be fully operational and the Police National Computer to be retired.

Answer

The Law Enforcement Data Service (LEDS) is being delivered to enable the retirement of the legacy Police National Computer (PNC). The priority is to ensure that LEDS delivers full parity with all current PNC capabilities, using a modern technology foundation which enables the further evolution and modernisation of UK policing. The programme plan is to achieve this by March 2026 to align with the end of the current PNC support contract.
