Information is the lifeblood of policing and goes hand in hand with the technology GMP uses to correctly record, retain, disclose, share and ultimately safely dispose of that most valuable of commodities. Information Services is the home of GMP's experts in terms of both the safe handling of information and of the information technology framework used to achieve that. Without accurate, relevant information even the best systems in the world would prove to be ineffective, but equally without effective, robust systems even the most relevant information would be lost.

The role is to facilitate the processing of personal information held by GMP in relation to Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS - formerly CRB) applications. The requirement is to search all relevant IT systems to locate information, analyse information and make a decision on disclosure in accordance with the current protocol, submitting comprehensive reports on relevant findings.
