Communications and Information Systems for First Responders - Canada
With that in mind, a number of government, first responder and digital agencies came together in 2014 to develop what has since become known as the Public Safety Broadband Network (PSBN) and to form the PSBN Innovation Alliance based in Ontario, a not-for-profit legal entity to advocate on behalf of the PSBN. Ultimately, according to Anthony Odoardi, the PSBN is an “always-available broadband spectrum for emergency responders to use in their lifesaving missions.” It is a network that only first responders have access to, and is a “dedicated, resilient, reliable, cybersecurity mechanism to ensure that data critically arrives at the …

Exploring technical and operational innovations impacting the world of forensic investigation
Exploring technical and operational innovations impacting the world The field of forensics is a very scientific and extremely detailed discipline. With the emergence of forensic technologies, this field is continuing to evolve, though technology is not the only reason why forensics is advancing. Dr Sarah Benson, the Chief Forensic Scientist and a 21-year veteran at the Australian Federal Police (AFP), says that what really sets the field of forensics apart these days is data. “The question for us is how can we do what we do better given the complex data environment that we currently operate in, whether or not …

Speaker Spotlight: Andrew Tongue, Deputy Secretary Biosecurity Compliance
We are working on the assumption we will have a major pest or disease incursion this decade. Therefore, we are looking to ensure our preparedness, response and recovery systems are strong. This involves “defence in depth”; having a multi-layered system to deal with threats pre-border, at the border, and post-border. We need to work closely with all our stakeholders, including the general public, to identify and mitigate biosecurity risks.

Speaker Spotlight: Dr Tobias Feakin, Ambassador for Cyber Affairs and Critical Technology
Our priorities in 2021 include engagement on standards, critical technology supply chains and ensuring states understand their obligations to act responsibly in cyberspace. Ultimately, we face a future where our values are not upheld or respected by technology, and our prosperity, security and social cohesion is at risk if we don’t take action now. Our international engagement must continue to advocate for a cyberspace and technology that is in our interest, and that of our likeminded liberal democratic partners. However, the hardening of networks alone is not enough to protect Australia’s national security interests. This is why the Australian Government, …

Building Resiliency in an Increasingly Complex and Uncertain Environment
This is particularly important for a department like TMR, which has responsibility across the vastness of the whole state. TMR looks after “over 33,000 km of state-controlled roads,” including bridges, as well as all “bus, rail, ferry and tram services.” It employs over 9,600 people, has about 100 offices or locations across the state, including “90 customer service centres.” It’s a big and complex department that is referred to internally as “an ecosystem rather than just a department.” Disaster management is part of the mandate, and in 2020, TMR spent “nearly $87 million on natural disaster recovery and repairs,” much …

Forensics - Canada
The field of fingerprinting is a microcosm of the rest of the discipline and shows how much things have changed and are changing. For many years, the standard fingerprinting identification was the “ACE-V scientific process, which consists of analysis, comparison and evaluation to determine a verification.” However robust, scientific and objective the process might be, much like in medicine, “the expert opinion is based on observation and the conclusion is therefore invariably subjective.” It might still hold up in court and has worked for a long time, but there was always room for improvement. LR is already being used in …

Defence Communication Systems
In our modern, connected world, the speed and ease of communication greatly matters. Many of us rely on devices and the internet not just for work, but for our entertainment and leisure, and when there are outages or disruptions, they affect us on a visceral level. The stakes are even higher for deployed forces across the Australian army, navy and air force, where reliable and efficient communication infrastructure can have serious safety and security implications. The ASA was created in July 2018. Its purpose is to “transform and grow a globally respected Australian space industry that lifts the broader economy, …

Highlights Future Policing- Canada
The OIG therefore has a critical role to play. It works to ensure “that all of our officers and employees act with honesty, dignity and respect toward the public.” This is underpinned by two principles or aphorisms: One is based on an ancient Roman saying of “who will watch the watchers, or in a more modern parlance, who will police the police?” By the nature of their work, the police have the “authority to deprive someone of their freedom or possibly their life.” But they are not above the law and thus “we’ve created some oversight so they can do …
