ITMS: Serving and protecting the public through IT

19.10.2012

Among these is the datawarehouse project being maintained by the Data Warehouse Provisional Office. It is designed to provide front-line and mission-critical data access that aims to integrate disparate information system databases for easy verification of records across related databases, thus enabling effective decision-making by PNP leaders at the executive level. The project is now on its second phase where front-end online services will be developed.

Aside from the ITMS, other PNP units and offices involved in this project are the Directorate for Investigation and Detective Management (DIDM), Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG), Firearms and Explosives Office (FEO), Highway Patrol Group (HPG), Supervisory Office for Security and Investigation Agencies (SOSIA), Directorate for Personnel and Records Management (DPRM), Directorate for Logistics (DL), Logistics Support Service (LSS), Directorate for Human Resources and Doctrine Development (DHRDD), and Finance Service (FS).

During the latter part of 2011, the PNP launched three information systems -- the e-Rogue gallery system, the e-Blotter system and the e-Warrant system -- that aim to enable the nationwide crime data and online verification of warrants of arrest at the police station level.

However, even as the PNP steadily beefs up its ICT arsenal, criminals are also growing more adept in technology usage and are now using increasingly more sophisticated and advanced equipment.
