The Jill Dando Institute Research Laboratory (JDIRL) is a state-of-the-art secure computer facility, the first of its kind at a university in Europe. Developed as a joint venture between the UCL Department of Security and Crime Science and the UCL Department of Computer Science, it is accredited by London’s Metropolitan Police force as a Police Assured Secure Facility for the storage of official sensitive data.

The JDIRL hosts police data and a range of other sensitive datasets for the purposes of research and analysis. These include large datasets from the Metropolitan and other UK police forces, giving details of crime and policing at a disaggregate level, as well as commercially sensitive data from companies, provided for high profile research projects funded by UK Research Councils. The JDIRL is a totally self-contained computer facility and has its own internal security system which controls physical access to the lab.
