Principal Duties of Modern Police Ensure public order, carry out measures for control and prevention of crime:

Make shift schedules and ensure public order in the streets, at public events, etc. Identify and supervise groups of persons at risk

Drug addicts Prostitutes and souteneurs Persons formerly punished Weapon holders, etc.

Identify and examine retained persons and suspects Ensure controlled ussue and cancellation of weapon licences (licences needed in Europe, free trade

of weapons in the USA) Register unvalid personal ID documents Accumulate detailed information on formerly punished persons

Investigate crimes, incriminate, submit cases to public prosecution and court Visit the crime site, perform initial investigation of the crime site and give initial details connected

with the crime Initiate and record criminal cases, examine crime stories, retain and examine suspects Submit cases to public prosecution for incrimination and bringing the case to the court Initiate investigation of persons, vehicles, stolen property, cultural property, etc.

Ensure cross-institution cooperation in crime detection to other regional and federal Police authorities as well as other governmental institutions, e.g. Border Guard, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, etc.

Register administrative offences, imply administrative penalties Ensure international cooperation in crime prevention with neighbouring countries and

international organisations Process statistical data on crime and types of crime Plan measures for prevention of crime

Principal Duties of the Police

Typical Police IT System Solutions

Data Communication with External Systems

Typical Problems for a Desintegrated Solution

Scattered data stored in mutually unlinked systems

Contradicting and overlapping information on persons and events

Much time consumed by the policeman while accessing a number of systems and checking the data on a particular person

No possibilities to perform integral search queries for a particular item/person

The more desintegrated a system is the more complicated and expensive its maintenance will be

Large amount of software interfaces to be mainteined

Summary

E-POLICE: Distributed Architecture

E-POLICE: Distributed Architecture

E-POLICE: Distributed Architecture

E-Police: Integrated Solution

Integration is ensured at a database level, there is no data overlapping

Integration of related entries is ensured also at the user application level, the user has got possibility to navigate related applications

Data search is ensured throughout the entire data array by one query

Automatic check of predefined signal conditions validity is ensured by software

Consolidated data vocabularies are maintained in the system

One interface with external systems is maintained

Example 1: Data Integration (User Interface)

Example 2: Data integraton – Person Search(Data Input Interface)

Example 3: Data Integration – Person Search(Web interface)

Example 4: Search for a Person’s Photograph

Development: Visualisation of Events with GIS

Possible Model for Cooperation with local Partner

A local cooperation partner would be asked to ensure:

Project management

Localisation of the system user interface, translation and adaptation of classifiers

Generalisation of the requirements of national legislation and specific regulatory documents to adapt the system to local needs

First-level helpdesk to identify technical problems, provide technical help or to submit the problem to the developer

End user training

Migration of historical data if necessary

Development of local interfaces for data communication with other local systems

Motivating the Customer: Why Choose a Complete Solution?

The Customer can view the system operation beforehand, get acquainted with the experience accrued during a long period of time (over 10 years) in other countries

Defining system functionality as well as wide use of data vocabularies and standard methods during data processing, which is an essential step, could be adopted from other countries’ experience

There is a possibility to implement a pilot project rather fast and at adequate cost to get more detail about the Customer’s needs and capacities

The anticipated result is more predictible, during project implementation prototyping method is actually applied, and the key objective while working with this method is adjusting to the legislation requirements of the specific country

Police systems are large, technically complicated, and critical from the viewpoint of system implementation and maintenance. Use of proven solution would minimise risks related to system implementation and maintenance

Less time needed for system implementation In case of using typed systems within one state maintenance expences are reduced Large possibilities for development and mutual integration

Proposal

We invite representatives from national country to visit Latvia. Upon previous arrangement we are able to provide the following :

Arrange a presentation of the actual operation of the Police system

Arrange an experience sharing meeting with technical IT experts and system end users
