<p>Convicted stalkers are already captured on the Police National Computer. We need
to make better use of existing databases and improve connectivity and information
sharing rather than creating new databases or registers for each and every offence.

improve professional knowledge. Since October 2012 the College of Policing training
package on investigating stalking effectively has been completed over 56,000 times
by police. Over 1,500 Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) staff have completed training
