A second meeting was held by representatives of the institutions, with the purpose of strengthening ties and committing to hold future workshops, where the university will contribute with its experience in the area of ​​analysis of large volumes of data.

In order to carry out collaborative work that materializes in a contribution to the community, representatives of the PDI Prefecture Elqui and the University of La Serena met, once again, to strengthen ties and promptly begin the analysis workshops of large volumes of data, which will serve as a basis to achieve new information analysis for the work carried out by the Investigative Police through its regional Analysis Office.

pdi 2Within the framework of the BIG DATA ULS-MINEDUC project and the digital transformation of the Coquimbo Region, the ULS seeks to transfer information products for effective decision making among the agents of the regional territory, said the Director of Strategic Development and Quality , Dr. César Espíndola. That is why professionals from said Directorate met with the prefect José Carrasco, with the purpose of explaining future actions to share experiences and develop explanatory workshops on different instruments, which in the opinion of the police authority could be replicated in units of the Northern Macrozone. , and would be directed by the University.

“At the Chilean Investigative Police, in our strategic plan, we seek to be a regional reference in matters of investigation of highly complex crimes and the fight against organized crime at the national level. In this context, our Criminal Analysis Center, which is located in Santiago, has analysis offices at the regional level, of which we are concerned with being able to strengthen professional skills to be able to deliver a better investigative product based on criminal analysis," Carrasco assured.

The prefect emphasized the need to update in terms of data analysis, especially because crime, in the opinion of the police institution, has been mutating and adding new challenges to the PDI, which is why they seek to “have a superlative level in strengthening our competencies and that is where the PDI links up with different strategic entities to strengthen these competencies, in this case the ULS.”

For the professionals of the ULS Institutional Analysis Office, this work will allow the transfer of knowledge, which is the fundamental and key idea of ​​the University, the exchange of technical experience, modeling, analysis, collection and processing of information.

“From criminal analysis it is essential to manage information and, in that sense, the alliance that we are forming with the University of La Serena is important, because it allows us to open doors of knowledge and improvement in these areas of specialization, computer science and management of large data volumes. By professionalizing our information product, the one who ultimately wins is the community, which is precisely the one that demands a better quality of service, a better performance of the officials,” stressed the prefect José Carrasco.
