MISX – Smart Monitoring and Pattern Detection for Estonia’s Police and Border Guard Board

Police and Border Guard Board

The Police and Border Guard Board (PPA) is a unified national governmental agency within the Estonian Ministry of Interior, responsible for law enforcement and internal security in the Republic of Estonia. It was formed on January 1, 2010, through the merger of the Police Board, Central Criminal Police, and the Estonian Border Guard.

Key facts:

• Sector: Public sector — law enforcement, internal security, and border management
• Parent authority: Ministry of the Interior
• Headquarters: Pärnu maantee 139, Tallinn, Estonia
• Employees: ~5,000
• Established: 2010

Problem

• The Police and Border Guard Board needed a modern solution for managing object and individual surveillance within its new MISX procedural information system
• The legacy approach lacked scalability and relied heavily on manual work
• Limited support for tracking complex relationships between entities such as vehicles and persons in investigative contexts
• The existing tools were insufficient for the pace and complexity of modern law enforcement workflows

Solution

• SRINI developed a new-generation surveillance module for MISX based on microservices architecture
• Implemented intelligent automatic pattern detection between entities — for example, linking a person to a vehicle in the context of a traffic incident
• Built dynamic form generation that adapts the interface based on data type and context, improving usability and reducing training needs
• Introduced rule-based automation for status changes and user rights — such as adjusting permissions based on age or event deadlines
• Integrated data validation via X-road connections to ensure accurate, up-to-date information from national registries

Result

• Significantly improved decision-making, process automation, and user efficiency across the surveillance workflow
• AI-powered features reduce manual work and streamline identification of relevant data relationships
• Modular structure ensures adaptability for future procedural and administrative workflows
• A more intelligent, scalable, and responsive public safety tool that saves time and increases operational effectiveness
