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 frontline services.

This transformation is led by the Digital Transformation Office (DTO), the true strategic engine of the organization, under the responsibility of the Digital Transformation Officer. The DTO defines the digital strategy, manages the transformation office, and ensures the alignment of all initiatives with the strategy of the Federal Police and the Integrated Police.

Its actions are based on three complementary pillars: IT, innovation, and intelligence (Data).

The DTO operates within a global transformation framework structured around five major axes:

• Framing and structuring initiatives (intake, program management, target operating model, legal aspects),
• Foundations and standardization, including the modernization of Dispo: IT infrastructures, security, data integration, and stabilization of the fundamentals (“Fix the basics”),
• Transformation of business domains, both administrative and operational, and citizen-oriented,
• Innovation, with the integration of emerging technologies, notably Artificial Intelligence,
• Cross-functional governance, ensuring coordination between steering bodies and operational units, as well as support for change management.

You will join the DTO team within the Demand & Portfolio Management unit, working closely with the Chief Technology Officer (CTO).

The CTO is responsible for the overall technological vision and steering of the digital transformation. In this context, he has launched a mission to analyze, optimize, and structure IT activities, with the objectives of improving effectiveness, efficiency, budget control, and clarifying responsibilities.
