JB-15.18 Response Accepted Self-assessed

Mandatory CLIO system training for command officers

Recommendation

Training should be made mandatory for command officers in the use of the Computer Logging of Intelligence Operations (CLIO) system and the Serious Organised Crime Tasking and Briefing (SOCTAB) system (a firearms version of CLIO which has specific tabs created in it and lends itself to firearms deployments). This should include training to enable the CLIO system to be compatible with the FA forms.

Published Evidence Summary
The following publicly available evidence relates to this recommendation:
According to reports, by October 2022, MO3 led work on Computer Logging of Intelligence Operations (CLIO) training at command level, and the Serious Organised Crime Tasking and Briefing (SOCTAB) CLIO Build was made available to relevant Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) staff. A national D-DaCS project was integrating these capabilities. According to the College of Policing's APP-AP update from August 2023, this recommendation was completed, but no further published evidence has been identified since then.
