The Innovation and Solution Lab (ISLAB) of the Information Systems Wing (ISW), in collaboration with the Civil Service Training and Development Institute, organised a tailor-made big data analytics workshop for the Force from April 27 to 28. The training forms an integral part of the Big Data Proof-of-Concept (PoC) project being launched by ISLAB, aiming to enable officers to grasp the main concepts of data science and to prepare them for practical applications in public services.
A total of 26 officers participated in the workshop, including representatives from ISW, the Cyber Security and Technology Crime Bureau, the Anti-Deception Coordination Centre, the Traffic Branch Headquarters, New Territories North Region, Yau Ma Tei Division, etc. In the concluding session of the workshop, the participants shared their insights into applying big data technology in practical police work, which included using big data technology to expedite the tracking of bank accounts in the investigation of fraud cases, to study the black spots of bicycle accidents for more comprehensive prevention measures, etc. The sharing inspired ISLAB on the future development direction of the data analytics projects.
ISLAB is currently working on various big data PoC projects with different frontline units while also actively exploring opportunities to form partnerships with suitable units or formations for appropriate trial research projects. Operational units interested in participating in ISLAB’s big data PoC projects or officers who have any suggestions on putting big data into practical use may contact ISLAB Project Manager Yip Kai-hung (Tel: 3669 4321) or Senior Inspector Chan Cheuk-hung (Tel: 3660 7421) for feasibility discussion.
