Police Congress: Predicting home burglaries?
A crime prediction system will be presented for the first time at the Police Informatics Congress 2015.
Can home burglaries be predicted in the future thanks to Big Data? When will the smartphone replace the parking fine block? And how will the growing number of passengers at airport customs be managed more efficiently despite increasing security requirements?
These and other questions are the focus of the 8th Swiss Police Informatics Congress' (SPIK), which will take place on March 26. After an opening speech by Toni Frisch, project manager of the 2014 federal security exercise "Pandemic and Power Shortage", the organizers will present approaches to solutions in a total of seven symposia. Among others, Paul Zinniker, Deputy Director of the Federal Intelligence Service (FIS), will speak about regulations and threats.
The event will also be the first time in Europe that a mobile application of a crime prediction system will be presented.
Furthermore, the organization "Harmonization of Police Informatics" gives an insight into the latest advances in its activities. The German racing driver and Paris-Dakar winner Jutta Kleinschmidt will close the event with tales from the world of motorsport.
