I think the warning markers need to be updated to reflect what information would be held on PNC. For example, if a person has come to police attention and they have mental health issues or other ailments that would affect their capacity to make decisions or communicate, they would have a marker to show that.
This would be particularly beneficial for the scenario where a person calls 999 to state a male is wandering around, appears intoxicated, and committing low-level offences. Officers attend and identify that they are suffering from an acute MH issue - if there is a warning marker to reflect that, the relevant help can be arranged for that individual, rather than taking them to custody whereby the issue would be exacerbated.
