Seems a bit right hand/left hand. Some police know the value of public reports and have worked out how to get the public to present their information in a useable form, then there are the team on the end of the submissions who create the impression of resisting these initiatives.

I'd really like to see a national standard and even a national system operated outside of the local police force. With a bit of self-funding jiggery-pokery, it could be quite effective.

Yes, there is an obvious value for money in a national innovation to be available for the responsible Police authorities to operate as you suggest. Local development clearly can't provide a good selection of systems at public expence. Public sector procurement of innovative solutions has worked well with a selection of short-list competitors who invest in their offer on the understanding that they may not be the winner getting only nominal support for taking part. Since there is a global market for such solutions and that would be hard and costly to run, a national program seems more likely to deliver to reasonable cost and time. Perhaps a joint MoJ and DoT initiative...
