Canadian Police Information Centre
- Canadian Police Information Centre
The Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) is the central police database where Canada's police agencies can access information on a number of police matters. It was established in 1966 and approved for use by the Treasury Board of Canada.
The CPIC is maintained by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and contains information relating to criminal records, property and missing persons. The centre is Canada's only national police networking computer system ensuring officers all across the country can access the same information. CPIC is also interfaced with the United States National Crime Information Center. The database is located at the RCMP Headquarters in Ottawa, Canada.
Local, municipal and provincial police services in Canada also have their own subsystems. Those mainly include police information about less serious crimes. The province of Quebec has a system called CRPQ (Centre de Reseignement des Policiers du Québec) while the one in Ontario is named Niche RMS. The RCMP runs a similar system in provinces where they are providing contract policing.
