Limitation: Problems arise when the alleged offender commits the incident in another police region than the one it resides in. source: CBS Criminaliteit en Rechthandhaving 2011, p. 338.
Timeliness
Immediately
Updated directly. If no statement (proces-verbaal) is written up about the alleged offender within 6 months after registration in the HSK, the incident is deleted from the system.
Current developments
The data is being inserted by the different police forces. To extract data from the HKS, the KLPD's IT department has developed the DEX-module, which has been expanded and improved since. It is now possible to extract all the data in one HKS file, so offender that are registered in multiple regions can be identified. Source: CBS Criminaliteit en rechtshandhaving 2011, pp. 338-339.
