The Easy Link Vehicle Information System (ELVIS) was designed in partnership
between WPC Software Limited and the Merseyside Police Vehicle Crime Group.
Designed to meet the needs of a modern police force, it doesn't just tackle
vehicle crime but also manages and makes available a whole range of vehicular
related data. Since its delivery in December 1999 the system has allowed
police officers to access to vehicle information when they need it not
when they could get it. It has reduced significantly the double keying
of data and has interfaces with Hire Purchase Information (Equifax), the
Police National Computer and the Force's crime recording system which has
helped facilitate a significant reduction in vehicle crime throughout the
Force as well as reducing the bureaucracy involved in vehicular processes.
Since its development in Merseyside, ELVIS has recently been purchased
by the Devon & Cornwall Constabulary to aid that Force's vehicle strategy.
Both Devon & Cornwall and Merseyside Police are now using ELVIS as
part of a multi-agency strategy with Local Authoritys to deal with the
growing number of abandoned 'end of life' vehicles being dumped on the
streets in those Force areas.
