POLIKS

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

POLIKS means Po lizeiliches L ande system for I nformation, K ommunication and S achbearbeitung. This is an IT process that the Berlin police use as a central IT process for all areas of the prison police and as an interface to other IT processes in the state (e.g. EWW, automated public prosecutor's information system ) and the federal government (e.g. B. BKA applications ( INPOL ), Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt -verfahren ( ZEVIS ), central register for foreigners , central federal register ). POLIKS is divided into the components of incident processing (criminal charges, traffic accidents, etc.) and information system (information and research and statistics functions).

The system was developed by the IT service provider gedas , an IT service subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group , and introduced in March 2005 after five years of development (started in 2005). After more than 30 years, POLIKS replaced the old " Information System for Combating Crime " (ISVB).

The costs totaled 73 million euros, with the largest share being used to set up and expand the IT infrastructure.

The processing departments of the Berlin police initially criticized the complicated and time-consuming process processing (compared to the earlier, paper-based process processing), while the security police made the system simpler. In the meantime, the acceptance of the system in all departments has greatly improved, as the system is constantly being improved and adapted to the needs of the users.

The system is constantly being further developed by the Berlin police; since the productive start in March 2005 (as of 12/2009), nine versions with some extensive extensions and improvements have been distributed. In July 2009, a variant for mobile devices was presented to the public for the first time. The so-called mPOLIKS was developed by computer scientists from the Free University of Berlin in cooperation with the Berlin police.

Originally, the Brandenburg police also planned to take over the Berlin police system. Due to the start-up problems, among other things, however, she decided on the ComVor case processing system , which was initially developed by the Hamburg police itself and is now also used by the Baden-Württemberg police and the Hessen police . The North Rhine-Westphalia police planned to use the Poliks-based ViVA system (procedure for integrated case processing and information) from May 2016. The POLAS -comparable functionalities of ViVA have been used across the board since February 2017. Process processing via ViVA is to be introduced gradually from mid-2017.

technology

The POLIKS workplaces (as of May 2005: a total of 8190) are divided into 4575 for the protection police and 3615 for the criminal police . A total of 7040 personal computers , 331 notebooks , 7273 monitors , 5185 printers and 805 scanners were purchased within the scope of POLIKS .

In the meantime (as of 12/2008) around 12,000 PCs, around 10,000 of which for the executive sector, have been purchased. 20,000 police officers were introduced to the system.

Questions about people or vehicles are answered by the police system within a maximum of ten seconds. More complex data research and queries from other agencies such as the BKA or the state residents' office are processed in parallel by a separate server in the background. The core processes were reduced from a "forest of forms" with 350 forms to 33.

POLIKS is based on a service-oriented architecture . The front end is Windows-based and the back end was initially Unix- based ( HP-UX ) and has been gradually converted to Linux since mid-2008 . For communication between clients and the central system is XML - SOAP used.

The network architecture is hosted , operated and maintained at the IT Service Center Berlin (ITDZ), the former State Office for Information Technology (LIT).
