Monitoramento de fontes abertas para apoio de atividade de inteligência pública

Abstract

The Paraná’s Department of Public Security and Penitentiary Administration (Secretaria de Estado de Segurança Pública e Administração Penitenciária do Paraná – SESP/PR) is responsible for planning, directing, executing, coordinating, supervising and controlling the activities of the public security sector in the State of Paraná. However, obtaining security information in the state of Paraná, especially in the digital environment, is limited. In order to improve the efficiency of this entire structure, the objective of this work is to facilitate data collection by SESP / PR, collecting, filtering and classifying public digital data on the Internet that contain relevant information for a manual analysis by specialists. The methodology was based on the development of a system divided into three modules, one module for data collection, another module for the application of information retrieval techniques and one last module for the presentation of data to the user. The proposed solution used only open source tools and has been in operation for more than two months. In that time, more than three million news items have already been collected, from a list of news portals in a test scenario, being possible to identify their text, author, title and publication date. The monitoring system made it possible to facilitate the collection of information relevant to SESP / PR, increasing the agility for the collection of critical information and contributed to the analysis of the information with graphic resources that help in the identification of patterns, in addition to gathering all this information in one user-friendly interface. The tool is already available for approval and use by SESP / PR, being a contribution to public security in the state of Paraná.
