Commanding Police Operations Using a Mobile Distribution Point of ICT Infrastructure

Abstract

Currently, public safety is threatened by emergencies related to broadly understood terrorism, natural disasters and technical failures or related to mass events, public gatherings and state or religious ceremonies and other situations causing risks that may lead to losing control over the course of events. It makes the police take specific actions as part of organised police activities, primarily police operations. The condition for the efficiency and effectiveness of the command in the police is to develop new, alternative, innovative technical solutions. The Mobile Distribution Point of ICT Infrastructure serves as an example in this respect. It will be an autonomous node that integrates technologically advanced ICT services, such as voice, data and image transmission, GPS positioning, for the needs of mobile command posts and the provision of ICT infrastructure in a specific area. Currently, the Polish police do not have a similar device, which reduces effective operation in emergencies.

“…Hence, more and more often in the strategies of the Police operations, the need to improve the speed and quality of information flow was emphasized by improving the means of communication available to the formation or introducing new, innovative solutions. The needs resulting from emerging situations such as crises and the activities carried out by Police officers in areas without communication infrastructure are only examples that initiate the need to build a Mobile Information and Communication Infrastructure Distribution Point (MPDIT) [1], [2].…”
