DESCRIPTION OF THE ORIGIN, ORGANIZATION AND FUNCTIONING OF THE GRONINGEN POLICE INFORMATION CENTER.
Abstract
THE CENTER FIRST BECAME OPERATIONAL ON SEPTEMBER 1, 1971. AT THAT TIME, INFORMATION WAS PROCESSED MECHANICALLY, BUT IT WAS FOUND THAT THE AMOUNT OF MATERIAL WAS TOO GREAT TO BE HANDLED IN THIS WAY. CONSEQUENTLY, ARRANGEMENTS WERE MADE IN 1973 WITH THE COMPUTER CENTER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF GRONINGEN FOR COMPUTERIZED PROCESSING OF POLICE INFORMATION. DETAILS ARE PROVIDED REGARDING THE HANDLING OF VARIOUS TYPES OF INFORMATION, THE ORGANIZATION OF THE CENTER, AND SOME OF THE EQUIPMENT. --IN DUTCH
