Description
The reason for submission of the project is the lack of geographic support for policemen in direct service. The police lack the latest map data and information with a direct link to the location in space and time during the majority decision processes, first of all in planning and implementation support measures and interventions. The time required for obtaining these documents is totally inadequate. In the police practice, the vast majority of the collected information has substantial link to the location in space and time. Officers of the Police of the Czech Republic (hereinafter PCR) in their work increasingly confront the need to use effective tools of autonomous geographic information system (GIS PCR) in the office, but also in the field. The project outcome will be mainly the ability to distribute the latest map data and other police spatial data on mobile phone lines of the police services. This will improve the knowledge of police officers on the security situation in the given territory.
Summary of project results
The project was needed especially because of the lack of geographical support for police (wo)men in direct service. The police lacked the latest map data and information with a direct link to the location in space and time during the majority decision processes, and also in planning and implementation support measures and interventions. In the police practice, the vast majority of the collected information has substantial link to the location in space and time. Application of a geographical information system for the Police of the Czech Republic in the field within the project resulted in providing improved geographical data and implementation of the Police Geographical Information System (GIS) to provide direct geographic and analytical support. The other impact of the project is the standardisation of analytical workplaces responsible for preparation of geographical data used in order to support the decision-making process. During the realization of the project, 15 police officers were trained, 8 licences of analytical GIS software were procured, 51 hardware elements were purchased (such as testing mobile phones, large format laminators, scanners and printers, desktop workstations, servers, etc.). Thanks to the successful implementation of the project, the Czech Police was able to create 8 new workplaces and related positions with fully equipped workstations. The project had significantly improved functionality of the Czech GIS with emphasis primarily on geographic information necessary for the analysis of the security situation, prevention, detection and fight against transnational organized crime and human trafficking.
