Border management, identity, justice, law enforcement and public safety organizations worldwide face great challenges. Protecting national interests and safeguarding citizens in the face of significant threats—from international terrorism to sophisticated crime and cyber crime—is extremely complex. Increasingly limited budgets and shortages of expert personnel complicate the pressures on law enforcement agencies. This comes at a time when citizens are demanding visible public safety resources committed to transparency, efficiency and results.
Securing society starts with intelligence:
- Smart border management, for example, begins long before any border crossing. It must be intelligence-led, which requires a complete view of risks and opportunities, a knowledge-sharing culture and a strategy built on proactive decision making. To achieve this, agencies are challenged to harness data, convert it to actionable intelligence and share it accordingly. Implementing an integrated solution across the organization, enabled by leading-edge technology, creates a border management environment that allows low-risk persons and cargo to move conveniently across borders. The integrated solution also lets the relevant agencies jointly and efficiently identify and interdict higher-risk individuals and cargo.
- By the same token, intelligence-led law enforcement—a proven model of policing in which intelligence serves as a guide to operations rather than the reverse—arms law enforcement agencies with powerful tools that can help them identify and remove emerging threats quickly and confidently.
