history

The ISVB was introduced in 1976 as part of the Berlin police reform. Originally it could only be operated with punch cards and a keyboard and had no screen, i. In other words, inputs and queries had to be made “blindly”. A simple screen interface was later introduced. With the introduction of modern office communication at the Berlin police, the ISVB system was emulated and made available to employees.

In addition to recording the basic data of criminal offenses (e.g. reason for recording, accused, reporting party, crime scene, etc.), the user interface also offered interfaces to external IT processes, such as a. EWW, INPOL , ZEVIS , AZR or KVA.

The software was developed in-house by the Berlin police. The replacement by POLIKS was among other things. a. necessary because the memory resources were exhausted and the administration of the system, which had been very outdated in recent years, was only possible to a very limited extent.
