SLTD project Providing law enforcement with instant worldwide

SLTD project Providing law enforcement with instant worldwide access to INTERPOL databases INTERPOL services for border control

Integrated Border Systems are to: Ø Facilitate machine assisted verification / identification of people and their travel documents Ø Combine the national / regional / international knowledge through databases connectivity – one stop shop

- International knowledge is building up. . - Access platforms have been created to suit every individual country’s specific technical / operational / telecommunication situation COMPATIBLE WITH EVERY INTEGRATED BORDER SYSTEM

International Databases – Global Knowledge Stolen/lost travel documents (SLTD) database SLTD – 14 562 852 records from 134 member countries (March 2008)

Access for everyone MIND/FIND platforms integrated real time access to SLTD (from a MRZ of a MRTD)

Standard Operational Policy and Procedures (SOPP) for the use of SLTD Advisory Committee (composed from 12 member countries representatives*) had their first session from 13 -14 December 2006, and the second one from 29 May to 1 st of June 2007 Ø Standard Operating Policy and Procedure (SOPP) are created, acknowledged and accepted by the 2007 GA, in Marrakesh Ø *AC members: Canada, Chile, France, Italy, India, Japan, Jordan, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, United Kingdom, United States

International Databases – Global Knowledge SLTD is recognized /endorsed as the global repository for lost-stolen TD by: UN EU OSCE ICAO APEC

Data quality Ø SOPP requirement: Participating member countries should ensure that their data is accurate and that they update their data in the SLTD at the same time as they update their national/regional databases: preferably on a daily, at least on a weekly basis

National reference database Fully automatic updating process that use a common standard, reduces human interventions and improves the quality of the data Member Country An application/link has to be built on the national level – one time investment PUSH NCB National data to be uploaded to IPSG delivers a standard tool (Oracle-Lite) to be installed - free of charge PULL IPSG uses standard Oracle product to consolidate all national data Push-Pull IPSG Quality Control End of animation IPSG International IPSG hosted database

Hit confirmation Ø SOPP requires: Each member country should implement a process which enables its NCB or other designated authority to create the circumstances for the hit confirmation to be made within one hour

Challenges Ø Dynamics of the deployment depends mainly on countries readiness to integrate INTERPOL services within their national border systems Ø Countries are often confused – comprehensive information on what is global interoperability of integrated border systems is missing

Challenges Ø Lack of coordination between different international partners/efforts results in lack of compatibility, interoperability, standardisation – security gap Ø Border security is not a “stand alone” activity – it has to be a part of the whole identity chain (documents issuing process, verification and identification – e-borders)
