“…In order to develop a common EU Justice and Home Affairs (JHA), the Treaty of Amsterdam (1997) introduced the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice. Since then, several other programmes-the Tampere Programme (1999), the Hague Programme ( 2005) and the Stockholm Programme (2010) (Aden, 2016)-have further informed the common strategy for policing and internal security and have emphasized the relevance of facilitating the transnational exchange of information. The Tampere Programme promoted the principle of 'mutual recognition', which was meant to establish trust, even in the absence of shared legal, judicial and administrative traditions in law enforcement.…”

“…As such, it challenges notions of borders in a different way to centralized database systems such as those that evolved from the JHA policies. In contrast to centralized database systems, decentralized law enforcement networks, such as Prüm, often derive from pre-existing networks of security professionals or through common professional activities among biometric experts and thus included people who knew each other previously (Aden, 2016). Prainsack and Toom (2010) have emphasized that the Prüm system derived from technocratic drivers of integration.…”

This chapter provides an outline of the historical evolution of biometric databases in the European Union and explores how these developments reconfigure notions of borders within this region of the world. This sets the scene for understanding how the melange of biometrical technologies and digitization has reconfigured how we think about the mobility of people, how modes of surveillance relate to human rights and ethical issues, and what modes of regulation are being enforced. This brief historical summary covers the evolution of a range of diverse biometric technologies and database systems and their use in the context of migration control and law enforcement. Furthermore, the chapter contextualizes why the Prüm system, a decentralized database system designed to facilitate the mandatory exchange of forensic DNA data amongst EU Member States to control criminality and terrorism, is of relevance to the concept of bioborders.

“…In either instance, multi-agency intelligence co-ordination can involve both private and public agencies. In all instances, when the multi-agency co-ordination intelligence lens is in use there are trust issues around information sharing between actors internal and external to the police métier (Aden 2016). Intrinsically, all constituent units in a given police organisation will have some concern with the ability to co-ordinate with other units .…”

Policing Across Organisational Boundaries

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This book promotes new theoretical frameworks and research questions that seek to advance knowledge of policing across internal and external organisational boundaries, specifically at the structural level of analysis. It addresses police theory, policy and practice, and also provides new directions for future research on intra and interorganisational policing.Analysing boundaries is of increasing global importance for policing policy and practice. Boundaries reflect the divisionoflabour inherent to complex organisations and their specialist units. In order to operate effectively, however, these boundaries must be crossed, and strong and reliable linkages must be built. Intraorganisationally, it is vital to understand how specialist units form and function and interact with other units. Interorganisationally, it is fundamental to recognise the place of boundaries in contexts such as international police cooperation. This book was originally published as a special issue of Policing and Society. Chapters 3 and 4 are available Open Access at https://www.routledge.com/products/9780367182915.

The police intelligence division-of-labour

This article describes the police intelligence division-of-labour. It is argued that police organisation gains overall coherence in relation to the 'police métier'; a rationale that allows protagonists in the police world to make sense of an irrational workplace structure where personal loyalty, trust and honour (not formal organisational logic) form the basis of action and compliance. The concept of the police métier is defined in terms of the police professional concern with the mastery of surveillance and coercion in the reproduction of order, the making of crime and the governance of insecurity, and it is the polestar of the police mindset. The article describes the police intelligence division-of-labour paying specific attention to four different aspects of intelligence activity: the acquisition of intelligence or information; the analysis of information in the production of intelligence; tasking and coordination on the basis of intelligence 'product'; or being tasked on that same basis. The descriptive analysis presented here is useful in several respects. Firstly it provides a basis for the comparative study of police intelligence work and its configuration within broader processes of security governance. Secondly, it provides a prototypical organisational map useful understanding the orientation of particular unitsthe organisational elements of policework (e.g. of drug squads, primary response, public order and homicide investigation units)within the broader police division-of-labour. Lastly, it provides a complex view of issues concerning democratic governance of 'the police' as they are configured as nodes within broader networks of security governance.
