Presentation

The Federal Police is engaged in a large-scale digital and organizational transformation, aiming to modernize its processes, strengthen operational efficiency, and better meet the expectations of citizens and field services.

This transformation is driven by the Digital Transformation Office (DTO), the strategic engine of the organization, under the responsibility of the Digital Transformation Officer. The DTO defines the digital strategy, leads the transformation office, and ensures that all initiatives are aligned with the strategy of the Federal Police and the Integrated Police.

Its approach is based on three complementary pillars: IT, innovation, and intelligence.

The Business Unit Recherche (BIREC) is responsible for coordinating information needs in judicial investigations. It coordinates all research functionalities which will be assessed, coordinated, and prioritized.

Through partnerships with other Police departments and external services (Justice, etc.), we aim to improve the current tools used by field officers but also to find solutions to new needs.
