Ministerium des Innern
- DIALOGUE FOR SAFETY, SECURITY AND
GEOINFORMATION-SERVICES FOR EUROPE - CHANGING CHALLENGES FOR HOMELAND SECURITY
- Jürgen Storbeck
- Director General for Homeland Security
- Ministry of the Interior of the Federal State of
Brandenburg
2
New Threats to Security I
- end of the east-west conflict
- states vs. international terrorist organisations
- asymmetric threats
- no clear distinction between internal and
external threats - Germany and Europe as parts of a global danger
zone and possible targets for terrorist
organisations
3
New Threats to Security II
- the Internet as crime scene and global platform
for information and communication - - globalisation of criminal activities
4
New Threats to Security III
- threats stemming from increasing transportation
of persons and goods - - spreading of epidemics/pandemics
- - road traffic accidents, airplane crashes,
etc. - - threats resulting from transported goods such
as - weapons, drugs, contaminated material, etc.
5
New Threats to Security IV
- abolition of systematic border controls
- social, ethnic and religious problems may
escalate to terrorist activities - vulnerability of critical infrastructures
- global processes with impact on security matters
- - climate changes and global warming
- - migration
- - fragmentation of society
6
Challenges for Security Agencies
- need for cooperation police on ist own cannot
tackle the various problems in this field - necessity to adjust security strategies and join
forces - to adequately tackle new challenges we need
- - to think outside the box
- - to establish appropriate decision-making
structures - - to set up joint planning and coordination
mechanisms - - to ensure interoperability of agencies
concerned
7
Strategies, Structures and Concepts I -
Federation -
- April 2008 decision of the Permanent Conference
of the Ministers/Senators of the Interior of the
German Federal States to update the German
National Internal Security Programme - - aim to develop an overarching security
architecture in Germany to adequately tackle new
security threats, especially those relating to
terrorism - - the Programme was originally created in 1974
(as a reaction on the terrorist attacks on the
Olympic Games in Munich) and reviewed only once
in 1994
8
Strategies, Structures and Concepts II- Federal
State of Brandenburg -
- setting up of a Department of Homeland Security
in the State Ministry of the Interior - integrated management structures for police, fire
departments, civil defence and natural disaster
response - protection of critical infrastructures
- STOP TE (strategic, tactical and operational
measures to combat terrorism) joint initiative
involving several ministries - GATE (cooperation between the police and the
state office for the protection of the
Constitution)
9
Legal Aspects
- - legal framework for cooperation between police
and security agencies set out by the German
Constitution - - need for interpretation and (probably) further
decisions to be taken by the Federal
Constitutional Court - - need for legal regulations in certain areas,
e.g. as regards fighting Internet criminality,
sharing data with foreign law enforcement
agencies, etc.
10
Gathering and Exchange of Information
- - intelligence as decisive factor for success
- - key issues secure data bases and networks,
compatibility of relevant hard and software,
shared data, mutual trust - European and international level (EUROPOL,
INTERPOL) - initiative of the Kingdom of Sweden as an example
to facilitate information exchange between
European police agencies
11
Technology/Equipment
- criminals have access to modern technologies
- - need for security agencies to keep abreast with
latest developments - key aspects
- - surveillance of telecommunication
- - online search of computers
- - digital radio communication networks
- gyrocopter as an example for new technologies
- - participation in research projects relating to
security issues interactive patrol/rescue
vehicle
12
Personnel Issues
- tendency to downsize personnel due to budgetary
constraints - quality instead of quantity
- importance of overall personnel management and
development strategies based on the idea of life
long learning - basic training to be complemented by in-service
training
13
Conclusion
- - new and complex threats to security require
adequate reaction - - need to make use of available resources in an
effective and efficient manner by setting up an
overarching security architecture based on
innovative strategies and concepts - - main aspects
- - legal framework
- - exchange and gathering of data
- - technology/equipment
- - personnel
- - key to success is interoperability of agencies
at national and international level
