The accomplishment of judicial missions requires integrated information management.
That is the reason why each district has their own “District Information Crossroads”. These crossroads are the places where the Local and Federal Police’s administrative and judicial police information is processed and analysed.
The missions of this support facility, which employs federal as well as local policemen, are the following:
- Examining recent facts and events, identifying supralocal security problems in a quick way and fulfilling a “signalling” function.
- Establishing relationships between facts/events, correlating information about entities (individuals, vehicles and so on).
- Facilitating the coordination of investigations.
- Organising information in time and space for operational and strategic purposes.
- Following up the different forms of crime.
- Following up the targeted groups of offenders and victims.
- Contributing to the cross-border exchange of police information.
- Providing the local police zones’ functional managers with support in processing information.
The Judicial Director is responsible for the judicial information’s functional management. The organisation and day-to-day running of the service are in the hands of a Head of Service.
