3. … is here…

4. The World is in your Pocket

7. The World has changed…

8. We live in a
Selfie
Generation

9. Evolution of Technichal Architecture
Standard Complex
1990s

2000s
e-Business
2010s
Smarter Planet
2015+
Cognitive Era
FULL INTEGRATION DELAYED INTEGRATION NO INTEGRATION
(middleware) (SaaS, Human Capital, Platform, Solutions)
BUSINESS IMPACT The business is intergrated with one invoice to the client Operate as a wholly owned IBM company in the
process of integrating
Continue to operate as before with limited change to
structure and business processes
Move to IBM Standard terms of business Separate business reporting and tax reporting Separate business reporting and tax reporting
Synergy is possible Limited synergy Very limited synergy

10. Artificial
Intelligence
Internet of
Things
Big Data
Next-Gen
Devices
Trends

13. THE INTERNET OF THINGS
Everything connected to the internet, like a
bionic layer over planet earth.
From large industrial machines to MEMS
(micro electromechanical sensors).
Typical, predictable technological
innovation: will get faster, cheaper FAST!
Huge privacy and security issues, a hackers
paradise.
Status: unstoppable avalanche.
Think years, not decades

14. Programs that are ‘intelligent’
(confusion right there: intelligent does
not mean autonomous or sentient).
Experts agree ‘human AI’ not anytime
soon, maybe never. No, Musk, Gates
and Hawkin are not experts.
‘By 2029 no computer or machine
intelligence will have passed the
Turing test’
http://longbets.org/1/
Status: already widespread use for
specialized tasks, first general purpose
AI (the Alpha GO) self-teaches and
outplays humans on Go and Atari-
games.
Holy grail: emotions, self-awareness
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

15. THE BLOCKCHAIN
The decentralized ledger. Eliminates the need for
trusted or intermediate parties when transacting.
Blockchains enable property (incl. money) to be
exchanged and assigned instantly, undisputable, secure
and internetted.
Makes any property ‘cash’ property.
“On the blockchain, nobody knows you’re a fridge”,
allows machines to become economic actors.
Status: immature technology, will be huge, but not any
time soon. Solution looking for a problem.

16. Expectation

18. What do these companies have in common..
Business Models based on Data Culture and Cloud

20. An Garda Síochána
Mobility

21. ICT Challenges
• Silo Systems – Crime Reporting
• Paper based Reporting
• Need Relevant Information now from multiple back end systems
• Systems built for desktop
• Built for information “Pull”
• Desk based Analysis
• Move from Tightly Coupled to Loosely Coupled (Frontend / Backend)

24. Desktop Based
Have to look for Information
Multiple Back End Systems
Check Multiple Systems for Answers
Have to see if there is Information for
you on a regular basis

26. Function 1
System AAA
Function 2
Function 3
System BAA
System CAA

27. Can be any Device
Involves Smart Technology -
Enterprise Search
Notifications
Can Push work to people
Based on Location, Role, “My Profile”,
Since you last looked, People you are
interested in, etc..

32. APP success?
• Persistent Value
• Device appropriate
• Intuitive
• Focused
• We need to be willing to risk
and own failure

33. Traffic Units
33
In-Car Radios
ANPR Cameras
• Embedded units.
• Upload/download of watch lists.
• Captures scene data & video.
• 3G capability
• Information exchange with the
PSNI ANPR system.
• Increased security over analogue devices.
• Minimum of 96% nationwide coverage.
• Voice and Data services.
• AVPS functionality.
• Integration with PSNI.
Mobile Safety Units
• GATSO Vans increase visibility of Law
enforcement in high-incident zones.
• GoSafe Vans maximise members time
spent in the field, fighting crime.
• Command and Control Units offer hi-
tech mobile offices for specialist
operations.

36. Plan of Action
1. Create New Processes - rather
than quicker paper
2. Think about information first -
Then Systems
3. Flexible Systems Architecture
4. Device Selection and User
Friendly Interface
5. Location shouldn’t affect
deployment

37. Car
Mobile
Community
Office
Home
Desk Person Environment

38. API’s and Open systems..
• Weather
• Photo Sharing (Lost and Found)
• SMS
• Mapping
• Translation
• Video / Video Analytics
• Voice
• Facial Recognition

39. Garda App Store
Standard Applications
• Email
• Calendar
• Contacts
• Mobile Communicator
• Roster
• Colleagues / Contacts
Specific Applications
• Pulse Search
• Notebook
• Traffic
• Facial Recognition
• Investigation Management
• CAD………
• Standardised Devices
• MDM Security
• App Store
• Pilot Site
• Frontine Policing
• Apps / Research and Workgroups?

40. Data
Drone
Cars
Body
Worn
Public
CCTV

41. Doing the sums..
Bodycam Video @ 2Mbps
One hour of video is approximately 1 GB
Multiply by 24
Multiply by 365
Multiply by the number of potential users (12,000)
Repeat for Car Cameras
Repeat for CCTV / Drones / Public CCTV
Lots of data!!!

43. Analytic Dashboards
 Self-builds
 Self-builders with more than one Commencement Notice
 Stakeholder Involvement-
 Builder –as Owner, Builder, Designer, Assigned Certifier
in projects
 Extensions-type & location –tax incentives
date for footer or tagline

44. Thinking Matters More!

45. Time Spent on
Time Spent in the Office
Face to face
with Public

46. Changing Attitude

47. Conclusions
• Mobile is the most important technology in policing
• “risk”, “security” or “policies” are not an excuse
• Security is what actually enables mobile computing not what prevents it
