A Data platform tailored for public safety and law enforcement

Anticipation, reactivity and coordination: these three imperatives condition the success of public security missions. And data is one of the essential levers and a weapon as strategic as conventional operational means. In the age of big data, and faced with the complexity inherent in heterogeneous data sources, data platforms take a leading role. Suadeo will be honoured at the annual World Police Summit as a key player in the digital transformation of security forces.

Faced with the increasing complexity of security threats, the increased volume of data to be processed and the need for maximum reactivity, Law enforcement and public security institutions are turning to agile, secure and accessible data management and analysis solutions for non-technical users. An essential lever to allow agents to coordinate actions, anticipate risks and manage operations in real time.

It is in this context that Self Data Analytics, powered by platforms like Suadeo Self Data Services®, radically transforms the way data is used and beyond how teams collaborate and coordinate.

By giving control back to field users, Self Data Analytics allows territories to be managed at 360°, in real time, with unprecedented efficiency and agility. A real paradigm shift for the 21st century police.

Mastering the territory in real time

Contrary to popular belief, Self Data Analytics is not a simple visualization or reporting tool. It is a comprehensive approach to empower business users (police officers, analysts, centre commanders, cyber security managers…) in the exploitation of data.

Thanks to modular bricks that can be activated on demand, Suadeo offers a full Data Mesh architecture, deployed on Kubernetes, with total coverage of the data lifecycle: ingestion, quality, governance, security, predictive analysis, dataviz…

It is of interest to all law enforcement missions, for example:

  • Real-time detection of emerging threats (cyber attacks, suspicious movements, fraud…),
  • Dynamic mapping of incidents and patrols, for increased responsiveness on the ground,
  • Supervision of major operations thanks to a multisource hypervisor on a single screen (superimposed map layers of all sources of geolocable data, IoT…, real-time field information feeds, messages from social networks on precise words, etc.), a collaborative, digital and intelligent interface,
  • Cross-analysis of multi-source bulk data while respecting confidentiality requirements…

A strategic solution for sensitive environments

Already deployed in the Ministry of the Interior, Suadeo’s platform was used during the 2023 Rugby World Cup and the 2024 Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games to ensure real-time coordination of all operations associated with these major events: public safety, logistical flows, road – rail – air traffic, incident detection, spectator experience… It has enabled the aggregation and visualization of multi-source data, facilitating rapid decision-making in contexts with high strategic and operational stakes.

It is in the detection of weak signals and in the ability to process a large amount of information that we have succeeded in getting a lot of information back to our authorities. This unprecedented experience has radically changed the way interdepartmental coordination and collaboration is conducted.

Advanced Features for Decision Making

Equipped with an advanced data governance platform (connectors, ETL, datamodel, dataquality, datasecurity, datacatalogue…) as well as many decision support functions (embedded artificial intelligence, real-time mapping system, dashboards and dynamic reporting tools, low-code applications…), the Suadeo platform allows operational agents to instantly visualize the evolution of a situation, cross-reference heterogeneous data, and model predictive scenarios.

Its modern architecture, full web, full Kubernetes, full Data Mesh and full IA, allows a smooth integration into existing systems and offers business users total autonomy in the exploitation of data, without dependence on IT teams.

Why Self Data Analytics is essential for modern police

In public safety, digital transformation is no longer an option. It is driven by the convergence of several challenges:

  • Rise of cybercrime and terrorism,
  • Explosion of sensors (IoT, video surveillance) generating massive data flows,
  • Need to effectively coordinate multiple entities (municipal police, gendarmerie, customs, intelligence services…),
  • Not to mention the budgetary and human constraints that require doing more with less.

Self Data Analytics becomes the strategic foundation of a modern, proactive and agile policy.

With Suadeo, law enforcement is also assured of:

  • rely on autonomous agents in the management and analysis of data: users no longer need to call on IT teams to adapt business rules, explore data, geolocate them or generate reports on request to forward the information to the authorities,
  • full interoperability with their existing tools: through its API manager (more than 250 APIs natively integrated in Suadeo API Manager, enriched on demand), the platform easily integrates into the existing technological ecosystem of security forces
  • optimal data security: the platform is equipped with advanced security mechanisms (encryption, dynamic masking, full traceability, detailed audit), compatible with the treatment of “Restricted Distribution” classified data, and in accordance with the instructions and regulations IGI 1300, II 901, ISO 27001…
  • Time-saving and relevant data use: the platform integrates a local AI (therefore fully secure) into each of the governance and decision support data bricks, in order to assist the user at every stage, technical or business.
