A population of 35 million and they have 500,000 MORE files to put in the system, and they've been doing this for a couple of years and won't be done until 2020. Over 4.4 million files on such a small population.
Just one of many reasons Canada cannot be trusted. A nation of spies, rats and covert nepotism by the state. Bankrupting the nation and stabbing allies in the back to such a degree they want to consider the trade deals with us.
Even Europe hasn't completed the CETA free trade deal and it was closed a year ago. Canada has been urging them to quickly get it done...tough for leaders to sign off when Canadas reputation is less than stellar.
It’s taking the RCMP longer than anticipated to digitize Canada’s national database of criminal records
But internal agency records obtained earlier this year by Alberta blogger Dennis Young through an access-to-information request revealed that as of August 2016, there were still 570,639 criminal files that hadn’t been uploaded to the database, which contains more than 4.4 million individual files.
The records showed that from 2013 through 2015, there were 388,122 new criminal convictions, but only 58 per cent of files related to those convictions were entered into the CPIC database — this despite a boost in funding during that period, from $1.7 million to $2.8 million, to address the backlog.
This week, the National Post asked the RCMP for an update and was told by spokesman Sgt. Harold Pfleiderer that the backlog peaked in the fall of 2016 and that the number of criminal files waiting to be entered into the CPIC database now stands at 442,325.
Historically, the system relied on paper-based files, Pfleiderer said. But the force has been working with other police agencies to develop a fully automated and digitized system that will allow criminal record information to be uploaded in “near real-time.” This system should be completed by the end of the year, he said.
