This prompted the authorities to temporarily suspend the issuance of criminal record certificates for working with children and gun permits, while the competent authorities began investigating the extent of the error, its causes and repercussions, according to local media outlets that are reporting the news as breaking news, given the seriousness of the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Police: The situation is extremely dangerous.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">National Police Chief Lasse Boje Nielsen described the situation as &quot;very serious,&quot; stressing that the investigation has not yet reached a final conclusion regarding the nature of the error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nielsen said in remarks carried by TV 2 that authorities have not yet been able to fully determine the error, but current indications show that the system retained some information for longer than it should have, while simultaneously deleting other information earlier than expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Judgments in serious crimes have disappeared from the record<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The head of the national police explained that the deleted information included what are known as &quot;conviction decisions&quot; or &quot;decisions that resulted in conviction&quot; (f\u00e6ldende afg\u00f8relser), including rulings in cases relating to serious and very serious crimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Nielsen, these convictions do not appear on the criminal record if they were deleted from it as a result of an error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This presents a problem because the central criminal record is not only used to preserve the history of criminal cases, but is also relied upon by multiple official bodies and procedures in Denmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The error could affect gun permits, citizenship, and certificates for working with children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lasse Boe Nielsen warned that deleting the information could have repercussions in a number of official procedures that rely on criminal record data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said the deleted information could be missing when issuing gun permits, when sharing information related to citizenship cases, and also when issuing criminal record certificates for people who work with children, known as b\u00f8rneattester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The National Police confirmed that the error could affect the handling of cases involving criminal record data, including procedures for issuing children&#039;s certificates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Police suspend issuing certificates for handling children and gun permits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the extent of the problem is still unclear, the authorities have decided to temporarily suspend the issuance of criminal record certificates for children and gun permits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The police explained that the suspension will continue while the error is investigated, and that the National Police will decide within a short period whether it is possible to resume processing these requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The decision may have a direct impact on people waiting to obtain the required criminal record certificate to take up certain jobs, particularly jobs that require dealing with children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">48 decisions were incorrectly deleted and then re-registered<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of the investigation into the case that revealed the problem, the Police Administrative Center (PAC) was able to identify 48 decisions, based on data from 2021 onwards, that had been incorrectly deleted during the period under investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The authorities reinstated these decisions in the criminal record after discovering they had been deleted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, the administrative police center examined whether these 48 decisions had been omitted from the children\u2019s criminal records that had already been issued, and confirmed that this had not occurred in the cases identified up to that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The investigation has not yet determined the extent of the error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The police work was not limited to listing the decisions that had already been deleted, as the Administrative Police Center and the National Police continued to investigate to find out the nature of the error in full, the reason that led to its occurrence, the time when it started, and the extent of its scope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Authorities are also working to determine what consequences the error may have caused, including whether there are other cases affected by the problem that have not yet been discovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lasse Boe Nielsen said the police are doing everything they can to recover the deleted convictions, stressing the seriousness of errors in the criminal record due to the central role it plays in dealing with offenses and criminal cases in Denmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Minister of Justice demands a thorough investigation and the recovery of information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Justice Minister Nicolai Wammen has stepped in on the issue, demanding that the National Police use all available resources to recover the deleted information and correct the error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to a statement issued by the Ministry of Justice and reported by TV 2, Wamen also asked the National Police to prepare a comprehensive report explaining the extent of the case, the reasons for the error, and its consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The minister stressed that it is of &quot;crucial importance&quot; that children&#039;s criminal records are accurate and reflect the correct information in the records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An urgent political meeting was held due to the seriousness of the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because of the seriousness of the error, a meeting that was originally scheduled between the political parties concerned with agreements related to the police and the public prosecution was expanded to also include party spokespeople on judicial affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A memo from the Minister of Justice, seen by TV 2, stated that the National Police were still investigating the extent of the error and its implications for a number of types of cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The central criminal record includes, among other things, information on charges against individuals and decisions issued in criminal cases, as well as other information used for purely police purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The National Police Chief, Lasse Boe Nielsen, was also scheduled to give an explanation during the meeting regarding another problem related to the incorrect coding of some fingerprint and palm prints in the central fingerprint and hand print registry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Police Chief: We are working to restore the deleted decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nielsen stressed that the police are treating the error as a serious matter, not only because of the decisions that disappeared from the record, but also because of the importance of the record itself in the Danish justice system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said the police are doing everything they can to restore the deleted decisions, while the investigation continues to determine all aspects of the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Authorities are searching for the full picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The case is still under investigation, as the National Police and the Administrative Police Center have not yet definitively determined when the error began, how it occurred, and how many pieces of information or decisions were affected by it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Authorities are also investigating all possible ramifications, including whether missing data may have already affected other official proceedings that rely on the central criminal record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While work continues to uncover the extent of the problem and recover deleted information, the issuance of criminal record certificates for children and gun permits remains suspended until the National Police determine whether the systems and data are reliable enough to resume processing.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0627\u0643\u062a\u0634\u0641\u062a
