| Abstract | |
| Rapid technological growth has seen organised crime markets grow and diversify and find endless ways to exploit traditional and new markets. Organisational agility is required to respond to this dynamic and complex environment. Further, criminals do not limit activities to physical boundaries, meaning that there is increasing need for national information sharing, coordination and collaboration in addressing the highest threats. The information environment is becoming more complex and dynamic, requiring more attention to bringing together subject matter experts, investigators, analysts and advanced analytics to achieve more efficient and effective outcomes.
The Australian Crime Commission’s big data journey began in 2010 with the creation of the National Criminal Intelligence Fusion Capability (‘Fusion’). Fusion was designed to harness the variety of information received through increased information sharing and collection, and to support more efficient and effective decision-making. A significant program of work has delivered enhanced capabilities through the introduction of advanced analytics and data management. This session will provide insights from the agile program and describe the perpetual benefits that have been realised. It will also describe where the ACC is currently focusing attention and the expected challenges in the creation of the National Criminal Intelligence System (NCIS). |
