Under the current level of coverage, 85% of all incidents are directly captured and more than 75% of Garda personnel have direct access to PULSE systems in their stations. Garda personnel in other stations have also means to link up with the PULSE network indirectly. Further extensions to the PULSE system will be considered in the context of the Garda information and communications strategy under preparation in the Garda Síochána.
