Technology Workshops - Considering needs, gaps & options

Information and Automation

VENUE: SALISBURY

This session will present a forward view of some implications associated with the increasing amounts of digital information and evidential material generated through increased use of technology in the justice process. • The digital data tsunami: As we look to digitisation to obtain better results for less money, do

we really understand the quantum and other implications of the digital information we will be managing, holding, transmitting, sharing and processing

• Opportunities for Automation: The availability of digital information increases the opportunities for collaboration and automation. This will view some opportunities for automation throughout the justice process that address existing challenges

• Cyber Threats & Responses: What cyber threats permeate the digital world we’re entering, what potential responses do we have, cyber-security or cyber-crime… where to invest, the skills shortage, other considerations

Welcome to the Fourth Scottish International Policing Conference. From enhancing crime control to improving communication with the public, enhances in technology have always played a key role in influencing the development of policing. But if technologies are to be developed effectively, we must have a clear understanding of the problems they aim to address and the context in which they will be used. This International Conference will provide a forum in which police practitioners, policy makers, industry experts and researchers can come together to discuss how we maximise the impact of new policing technologies for the benefit of the local communities.
