On January 31st, the Blockchaingers and the Dutch National Police host the Public Safety and Security Deep Dive at the National Police Headquarters in The Hague. During this Deep Dive, the blockchain ecosystem will be kickstarting blockchain applications designed to increase public safety. Will you contribute to public safety by helping to redesign it with blockchain technology?

Public Safety and Security
Blockchain technology has a huge potential in tackling all kinds of Public Safety and Security issues. Issues like tracking fraud, corruption, and other criminal activity as well as providing a transparent proof of evidence throughout the justice system and all its players.

Blockchain offers new opportunities to design public safety and security in a more effective way by reducing bureaucracy and costs. However, it also offers challenges with regards to privacy concerns that need to be taken into account. Teams within the Public Safety and Security Track should adequately incorporate opportunities afforded by blockchain technology as well as challenges posed by privacy into their blockchain solutions

The Dutch National Police
The Dutch National Police is committed to upholding the public safety. The police protect democracy, enforce the law and represent authority in the public space. The Dutch National Police assist where they are needed, and intervenes in states of emergency. The Dutch National Police collaborate with partners and civilians to uphold public safety. They understand current societal developments and how these developments can impact our future public safety and security. Therefore, the Dutch National Police is interested in blockchain technology and what it can do to improve public safety and the policing process.
