20% of crimes not recorded on Pulse
A CSO audit found that 20% of incidents reported by phone to stations in Dublin in 2011 were not transferred to the Pulse system. Outside the capital, note pads were being used to keep records of initial incident reports and 16% of those did not make it to the database.
The CSO review was carried out after the Garda Inspectorate last year exposed massive errors on Pulse including poor classification of incidents and under-reporting, casting doubt on true crime rates.
