Smart policing

Description of Innovation

The aim of the action is the application of modern technologies of smart mobile devices in pedestrians and on-board patrols, providing solutions for the identification and verification of the citizens subject to on-site control, in order to increase the sense of security and reduce the risk of escape. The action promotes effective policing by quickly and securely identifying citizens, vehicles and objects. Especially in the case of citizens who do not have identification documents, the check will last only a few seconds in contrast to the current situation which usually lasts a few hours and requires the transfer of the citizen for further check at the nearest Police Station.

Reasons for Innovation

The main reasons for the development of innovation are the improvement of the existing process with new tools (eg e-government, cloud services) as well as the development of new processes or services in response and adaptation to technological developments. Thus the action focuses on the supply of modern portable electronic devices such as "Smart Phone", which, through a single application / search interface in existing databases (National and European) and the acquisition of biometric features (through the scanning method), license plate numbers and document information, will achieve fast and secure search and identification of vehicles, persons and objects. At the same time, they will provide the ability to transmit data - file transfer, voice call - between users, as well as an application to record control "incidents", using the device. The operation security of the devices, the applications but mainly the security of the data that they will use, will be achieved by the use of a special platform for remote management of mobile devices with capabilities of both data encryption and access rights management of the used applications. (EnterpriseMobileManagement platform).

Objectives of Innovation

Through the utilization of the present action, the aim is to achieve: • The expansion of the possibilities of the Greek Police for immediate, complete and accurate information during the inspections, by using Smartphones in a single working environment through a single application - interface. • Promoting effective policing through more accurate and faster data collection (secure identification of citizens and vehicles), especially in cases of regular and mass inspections. • The immediate service of the citizen, through his timely information, while respecting the protection of personal data. • The creation of a safe environment, both for the citizens and for the staff of the business units during the execution of their duties, which will now have at its disposal a tool for cross-checking information. • The prevention - detection and suppression of serious, dangerous and organized forms of crime, as more immediate detection and identification of suspected vehicles and individuals involved in terrorism, human trafficking, drug trafficking, illegal migration, smuggling)will be achieved. • Enhancing the skills and abilities of staff, given the already increased penetration of smart mobile devices such as "smartphone", reducing the cost of telephone connections, saving human resources, optimal staff performance, and reducing costs of the produced work. • Extending the effectiveness of control to third-country citizens who have violated the legal time permission to stay in the country, while virtually eliminating interference with law-abiding citizens, thus strengthening the concept of the state of security and the rule of law.
