âThis will provide more insight into the reasons that investigations do not, or cannot, lead to a sanction outcome,â Mr Harris said.
It means gardaà will be required to account for why crimes they investigated did not result in any conclusion, such as criminal charges being pursued.
The Garda has in the past recorded and published data showing its record in detecting, or solving, a wide variety of crimes. But it has not formally recorded the reasons why crimes remain unsolved and the DPP also does not explain why it declines to pursue suspects for crimes.
Mr Harris has told the authority the new system of recording why crimes were not solved was âplanned to be in placeâ by the end of June.
