History

Historical Context

The 1998 data-sharing model set by Europol (October 1) and the peace-building focus of the Good Friday Agreement (April 10) both underscored the value of coordinated evidence, a principle echoed in Police Scotland’s 2024 dash-cam request to curb collisions on the A947. Today, systematic data collection is a cornerstone of UK transport safety, guiding interventions and funding decisions.
