Presentation/project

The ANPR program is housed within the Directorate of Police Information and ICT (DRI) of the Federal Police. The directorate is responsible for preparing policy and rules for information management and processing, developing the police information concept, establishing technical standards and norms, and implementing information and communication systems.

Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) uses intelligent cameras that recognize license plates. The system then compares these scanned license plates with already available data (stolen or reported vehicles, whether or not they are allowed to drive in certain areas, etc.). Within the police, ANPR is used in the context of traffic safety and judicial assignments. Section control systems are also part of the camera network.

Mission

As a Business Analyst within the ANPR program, you will be primarily responsible for conducting analysis for the Gatso Device Management project (abbreviated GDM or also Speedmaster) within the traffic workstream, to ensure the connection between dynamic speed signs and fixed speed cameras. This includes mapping the as-is situation of the current server usage, the camera infrastructure, and the existing software solutions, as well as helping to design the to-be situation, with a view to deploying existing solutions and equipment differently. You also contribute to defining the necessary processes and drafting the required documentation to enable a seamless transition to the "Run" team within ANPR. For this, you will develop detailed technical and functional design documents.

You structure all findings and information with regard to feasibility, timing, budget, and dependencies and work closely with the project managers within the ANPR program. You establish good cooperation with internal stakeholders within the police such as key users, IT architects, project managers, data experts, (functional) analysts, and software engineers to ensure the success of your analyses. You have strong technical insight and take on an advisory and facilitating role towards both management and operational services, working closely with them. You quickly build up knowledge on various topics, which you document thoroughly with a view to anchoring and transferring information.

You can quickly switch between different topics depending on changing priorities.

Tasks and responsibilities

Main tasks:

• Ensuring that for GDM and other assigned Traffic initiatives, the requirements and standards are clearly documented.
• Developing and documenting processes to enable a smooth handover to the Run organization.
• Identifying tasks, dependencies, and risks.
• Reporting progress to stakeholders: status, issues, bottlenecks, risks, and proposed alternatives/mitigations; recording decisions and actions ("decision log").
• Setting up and maintaining quality management plans so that project results meet the required standards.
• Documenting information in a structured manner, with a view to anchoring and transferring knowledge.

Secondary tasks:

• Future vision: You help define and set the parameters for a stable ANPR ecosystem in the context of traffic for the long term, with a view to future expansions. You contribute to formulating a long-term vision that takes into account growing capacity needs, new technologies, and integration with other systems.
• Knowledge update and regulatory compliance: You keep up to date with new developments in sensor technology and relevant legislation and regulations (e.g., privacy legislation regarding ANPR data). You integrate this knowledge into your analyses and advise on necessary adjustments to comply with applicable regulations and best practices.
• Providing input for DPIAs and other analyses: You work closely with data protection experts within the ANPR team (and the organization in general) when information needs to be provided on initiatives within the ANPR program to complete DPIAs, risk analyses, etc.
• Stakeholder management and relationship building with internal stakeholders and external partners to ensure the quality and progress of the analyses.

Education, experience and competencies

Experience:
At least three years of hands-on experience in business analysis and/or supporting ICT projects. Proven experience within complex IT environments for government agencies.

Methods & tools:
Experience with analysis methodologies and tools, such as business process modeling, requirement management, and project tracking systems. Familiarity with MS Visio, JIRA, Confluence or similar toolsets is desirable. Experience with monitoring tools (including parameter definition) is a plus.

Analytical skills:
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. You can structure large amounts of information, summarize it neutrally, and draw sharp conclusions. You are detail-oriented without losing sight of the big picture.

Language skills:
French or Dutch as a native language, with a strong passive knowledge of the other national language to function within a bilingual context: meetings, consultation of documentation, etc.

Domain knowledge:
Affinity or experience with ANPR systems, camera technology, and/or the traffic enforcement chain is an asset. You can quickly familiarize yourself with the substantive context of traffic supervision, so you understand the implications of changes to the system.

Soft skills

Work style:
Proactive, results-oriented, and structured. You take initiative, are a self-starter with a critical eye, and work in a planned manner. You set clear goals (KPIs) and support your proposals and decisions with facts and data.

Communication:
Excellent communication skills, written and spoken. The ability to manage and align various stakeholders on content. You can actively listen, ask the right questions, and clearly formulate complex ideas, both in writing and orally.

Integrity:
Discretion and reliability are essential, given your access to sensitive police information.
