"Set to replace the legacy Joint Asset Recovery Database (JARD) that has been used since 2003 to locate and seize illicit assets - including cash, property, vehicles and high-value goods - the Asset Recovery IT (ARIT) project aims to streamline the way criminal assets are tracked and shared, help disparate teams work more effectively together, and improve the evidence provided to courts."
"It will also aim to prevent criminal money from funding further illegal activity, with PDS committing to working closely with police officers, financial investigators, prosecutors and local authorities to build a cloud-based system that meets their individual needs. The system is also expected to support international and cryptocurrency recovery capabilities, helping more than 3,500 users to manage the recovery of assets held abroad or in digital currencies. All of this will take place within a single, streamlined system."
ARIT will replace the legacy JARD and streamline tracking, management and recovery of criminal assets including cash, property, vehicles and high-value goods. The cloud-based system will help disparate teams work more effectively together and improve the evidence provided to courts. PDS will work closely with police officers, financial investigators, prosecutors and local authorities to build functionality that meets operational needs. ARIT will support international and cryptocurrency recovery capabilities and enable more than 3,500 users to manage assets held abroad or in digital currencies within a single system. The Home Office found JARD outdated, expensive to maintain and lacking flexibility for complex investigations, prompting a replacement contract notice in August 2020 estimated at £25m.
