The Police of the Czech Republic currently operates a scattered structure of information technologies with over sixty information systems in order to fulfil its statutory obligations. Its administration demands a higher number of specialists and causes a higher rate of overlapping of the stored data than the decided
cloud solution of all operated information systems to which the present project intends to contribute. Within its framework, all infrastructure layers (hardware, software, data and application) will be integrated and their connectivity ensured. In addition, data protection will be ensured with two separated data centres which will back up each other.

The overall goal of the project is to increase the success rate of the Czech Police in the prevention, detection, investigation and prosecution of crime and thus to contribute to internal order of the Czech Republic and the security of its citizens. The project intends to contribute to ensuring an optimum administration, increasing the efficiency of processes and decreasing operational costs through purchasing and using the state-of-the-art technologies within the framework of the consolidated IT infrastructure. The project objective is to map the current information systems operated by the Czech Police, enable their integration and create a consolidated IT infrastructure providing a stable environment for the following 5 years at least after completion of the project.
