A large number of positive searches involving mainly vulnerable children have been recorded in just one week since the Schengen Information System became operational in Cyprus
The Ministry of Justice and Public Order announces that 48 positive searches have been recorded, concerning vulnerable children and persons wanted to appear before judicial authorities, as well as persons who may be involved in terrorism, in just one week since the Schengen Information System became operational in Cyprus.
Data recorded by the National SIRENE Office of the European Union and International Police Cooperation Directorate, in cooperation with the National SIS Office of the Information Technology Department of the Police Headquarters, indicate that since 25 July, from 25 July, the day the system went live, until 31 July, an additional 507 messages have been received and handled by the SIRENE National Office, while a total of 83 messages have been sent for various cases, involving both positive searches and national registrations.
With the launch of the system on 25 July, it is now possible to carry out simultaneous checks through the Police systems both at entry/exit points in the Republic and during police checks within the territory with the Schengen Information System. In addition, the authorities of the Republic have the possibility to enter their own entries in the system.
The efforts of the SIRENE National Office, for the smooth start of the operational operation of the Cyprus SIS, are assisted by members of the SIRENE Greece Section, who with their experience guide both the end users and the members of SIRENE on the issues that arise.
The aim of the Police is to continue training and supporting all users of the system in order to exploit its potential to the maximum extent.
