Educational Objective: Acquiring basic theoretical and practical knowledge related to the concept and basic characteristics of geoinformation technologies and the possibilities of their application in carrying out criminal and police tasks, as well as technical and technological processes of testing and characterization.

Projected Outcome: Students' ability to apply specific geoinformation technologies (GIS and GPS) in criminal-police investigation and investigation of areas of interest for technological research.

Course Contents/Structure

Theoretical education: Geospatial data (concept, types, collection, quality, geometric, topological, thematic modeling of geospatial data, structuring geospatial data); Current coordinate systems and projections; Infrastructure of geospatial data (basic concepts of spatial infrastructure, terminology, metadata, organizational and technological aspects, geoportals and geoservices, data exchange - interoperability); Standardization in the field of geoinformation systems and technologies (International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC)); Visualization of geospatial data; Geotopographic materials and their application (analogue, digital); Geospatial databases (term, types, structure, functions, queries); Basics of geographic information systems - GIS (concept, elements, geospatial analysis, visualization, thematic mapping); Digital Cartography and GIS; WEB GIS;

Practical training: Demonstration of the application of GPS technology in carrying out criminal-police work; Possibility of interference and protection measures of GPS signal from interference; Procedures for the application of geoinformation systems in performing tasks of interest for technological procedures; Use of GIS as decision support (strategic, coordinating and tactical level); Creating a digital terrain model.

Teaching Methods: lecture, practical training, presentation, consultation, seminary work.
