JB-15.18 Response Accepted

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:
- The Metropolitan Police Service stated on 28 October 2022 that MO3 had led work on CLIO training at command level and that SOCTAB CLIO Build was available to relevant MPS staff, with a national D-DaCS project integrating these capabilities (MPS Response to Jermaine Baker Inquiry, October 2022).
- The College of Policing updated APP-AP in August 2023 incorporating requirements for command officer training on CLIO and SOCTAB systems (College of Policing APP-AP update, August 2023).
