NT's $45m police database overhaul
The Northern Territory Government has increased the planned budget for the state police crimes database overhaul to $45 million over four years.
The territory’s latest budget allocates $8.6 million during 2017–18 for the Police Real-time Online Management Information System replacement project, with the remainder to be spent over the next four years.
With the project, the NT aims to improve the delivery of law enforcement and emergency services by providing a contemporary and flexible core policing system to support frontline policing operations, improve police officer safety and increase community confidence.
The overhaul was first announced last year, following an outage that sent the state police’s existing 18-year-old PROMIS database, licensed from the AFP, offline for several days during June. The database will also no longer be supported by the AFP after this year.
At the time, the state government committed to allocating $40 million for the project.
The budget also allocates $5 million to establish an Office of Digital Government tasked with advancing the territory’s digital transformation agenda, $200,000 over two years to set up the territory’s own version of the FuelCheck fuel price monitoring scheme established in NSW last year, and the recently announced $259 million investment in the Core Clinical Systems Renewal Program (CCSRP).
