What I mean is that probably 90% or higher of the people you look at over the various intel systems will have nothing on them, because people applying or renewing their certificates generally are pretty clean and not been in trouble. The percentage that does have something on them will be flagged up for someone else to deal with. It's not going to be like a scene in a movie where they're using AI or a Minority Report style interactive dashboard to dig into someone's personal life.
The public sector has never completed with the private sector on pay or perks, it was just the pension or being able to do something that you couldn't do in the private sector, or believing you were making a difference. That's the draw and that's why you'll still get people joining up no matter how bad the pay and conditions, hell you get police specials willing to do it for free!
