SAP solutions for public security support day-to-day operations of local, regional, national, and international security organizations. Activities involve those dealing with natural disasters, terrorist attacks, or other civil contingencies – including activities of first responders: police, fire, and emergency management services.

How Governments Benefit

The following government functional mission areas can benefit from SAP solutions for public security. Each mission area is involved in identity management and resolution, case and records management, risk management, and operations and resource management:

• Border security – Involves national or federal border security agencies, including customs and immigration agencies. Officials can maintain optimal control of border security, while enhancing the appropriate flow of people and goods across borders through coordination with government, non-government, and the private sectors. Border security includes all measures to prevent illegal or unsafe movement of people or goods across borders.
