Policing Insight and PolicingTV Publisher Bernard Rix recently met Commander Lance Martin and Acting Superintendent Geoff Dickson of Western Australia Police. 

 

In part one of a two part PolicingTV feature, Bernard and Commander Martin discuss Western Australia Police’s ground-breaking and innovative work on digital policing, including how the implementation of new, digital-oriented technology over the past three years has transformed the policing front line’s ability to access key data on a timely basis – and the importance of people (rather than simply technology) in that process. The conversation includes a strategic overview of key learning of relevance to ICT implementations in other policing jurisdictions. 

 

In part two of this PolicingTV feature, to be published shortly, Acting Superintendent Geoff Dickson provides more detail on the technology introduced.
