Abstract

Our world is getting evolved to smart world day by day. This smart world is being developed to make people life easier through the data generated by the smart devices. Data is the fuel that powers the smart world evolution, however, making things smart have its consequences. Smart devices are inherently vulnerable to cyber attacks, that’s why we are observing an increase in crimes related to cyber space comparing to physical space. To address these crimes, police of the future need to evolve as well and data will be at the center stage of this evolution. In this contribution we are proposing a data centric policing proposal for smart cities. We analyzed current and developing technologies and the opportunities they offered for smart policing for a smart world.
