- Trend snippet: Increasing use of sensors and sensor data by the police
Trends in Security Information
The HSD Trendmonitor is designed to provide access to relevant content on various subjects in the safety and security domain, to identify relevant developments and to connect knowledge and organisations. The safety and security domain encompasses a vast number of subjects. Four relevant taxonomies (type of threat or opportunity, victim, source of threat and domain of application) have been constructed in order to visualize all of these subjects. The taxonomies and related category descriptions have been carefully composed according to other taxonomies, European and international standards and our own expertise.
In order to identify safety and security related trends, relevant reports and HSD news articles are continuously scanned, analysed and classified by hand according to the four taxonomies. This results in a wide array of observations, which we call ‘Trend Snippets’. Multiple Trend Snippets combined can provide insights into safety and security trends. The size of the circles shows the relative weight of the topic, the filters can be used to further select the most relevant content for you. If you have an addition, question or remark, drop us a line at info@securitydelta.nl.

Increasing use of sensors and sensor data by the police
by data. It is conceivable that sensor data will play a more guiding role in the near future.
Trend 1: Er zijn steeds meer politiesensoren en -sensordata De politie werkt steeds meer met sensoren. Eind jaren negentig maakte de politie ook gebruik van sensoren, zoals camera’s om plaatsen delict te fotograferen en toezichtcamera’s op straat. Maar het aantal en type digitale sensoren dat de politie tot haar beschikking heeft is enorm gegroeid. Politieagenten op straat worden ondersteund door digitale sensortechnologie. Dit heeft invloed op de rol van de politieagent. Agenten nemen beslissingen mede op basis van informatie die van sensoren komt. In die zin wordt het handelen van de politie geïnformeerd door data. Het is voor te stellen dat in de nabije toekomst sensordata een meer sturende rol krijgen. Kun je in zo’n geval nog steeds zeggen dat de politieagent zelf de beslissing maakt?
