ICT systems are really important for Law Enforcement. National databases such as the NCIC or National Crime Information Centre (USA) and the PNC or Police National Computer in the United Kingdom help law enforcement officers to access various records on a certain person such as any criminal records, finger prints, photo, license plate, and much more vital information.

The computers can also be used in many ways such as: •	Tracking Parolees (People released early from jail due to good behaviour) •	Creating Reports •	Creating sketches according to eye witness statements of wanted criminals. Referred to as PROFILING. •	Biometric scanner connected to computer to input a person’s fingerprint that will then be stored on the database. The fingerprint once scanned can be used to receive the records. •	Equipment inventory

Many of these computers are also found inside of the police cars for quick access to the national database. Video glasses also record and send live video of the current situations back to the main police station
