The UK has benefited from access to systems such as the Schengen Information System (SIS).<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u202fThe SIS is a real-time database introduced in 1995. It is widely used by all member states of the EU. It is the largest information-sharing platform of its kind allowing police and border authorities to enter and in turn consult on persons or objects of interest. The database also advises on what action should be taken should a person of particular interest be identified or apprehended. British police and border agency staff are the third-highest users of the SIS; in 2019, 571m searches took place to facilitate searches for wanted people or goods.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The main purpose of the SIS is to make Europe safer given the lack of manned borders. In 1985, five EU member states signed the Schengen agreement abolishing internal border checks. This later extended to all 26-member states allowing free movement across the continent to citizens. The UK decided not to be part of Schengen on the basis the country\u2019s\u2019 geographical position is an island that is often targeted at its borders and their desire to be responsible for their own control measures on their borders.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">From 1 January 2021, the UK lost access to the SIS as part of the country\u2019s withdrawal from the EU and will now rely on increased co-operation with Interpol. As Interpol are not currently directly integrated into UK counter crime systems, the UK will have now\u00a0have\u00a0to use more\u00a0labour intensive\u00a0practices to access critical data on persons wanted within the EU, including those who may be of interest for terror activities. The lack of access to SIS could result in criminals not being \u201cred flagged\u201d and entering the UK without evaluation.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Previously when the UK was a member of the EU under SIS, EEA and Swiss nationals were able to enter the UK using state-issued ID cards as a form of travel document. Home Secretary Rt Hon Priti Patel MP announced that ID cards were \u201cinsecure\u201d and anybody entering the UK from 1 October 2020 would now need to produce a valid passport at point of entry.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"excerpt\">During its time in the EU, the United Kingdom had the advantage of being able to access\u00a0a number of\u00a0real-time Europe-wide shared crime databases.
