Public safety & regional police zones

Police zones need real-time command over units, cameras and incidents — within the strict constitutional limits on automated data analysis. Meridian pairs a live command canvas with access designed to be purpose-bound and logged.

The challenge
  1. 01

    Fragmented dispatch, camera and case systems

    Today

    Dispatchers, camera operators and investigators each work in their own system; the picture is rebuilt by phone during every major incident.

    With Meridian

    Calls, cameras, units and incidents share one live map, so everyone acts on the same picture.

  2. 02

    Constitutional limits on automated analysis

    Today

    Courts — like Germany’s Federal Constitutional Court in 2023 — have set strict limits on automated police data analysis, and many tools cannot show they respect them.

    With Meridian

    Access is purpose-bound and every query is logged and auditable: analysis stays within the law, and can prove it.

  3. 03

    Large events and multi-agency incidents

    Today

    At large events, police, fire, medical services and organisers coordinate across radios and separate maps.

    With Meridian

    All agencies work on one picture, each with its own layers — and a change such as a moved protest route reaches every unit at once.

In the news
Logistics & cross-border investigations

The parcels crossed borders. The evidence had to follow.

A warehouse fire and a damaged shipment can begin as separate incidents. Understanding whether they belong to one operation requires connecting evidence across companies, countries and investigative teams.

Sovereignty & secure communications

The meeting is online. Who controls the room?

A video call brings people together. Its software, hosting, identity service and maintenance arrangements determine who controls the environment around that conversation. France’s Visio programme makes that operational choice visible.

Government & private sector

The message is encrypted. Who is in the conversation?

A government crisis team and a private operator need to exchange information quickly. A familiar messaging app makes that easy. It does not settle who controls the accounts, who still belongs in the group or what happens when a device is compromised.

Public safety

The attacker is seventeen. The order came from abroad.

In March 2026, synagogues, a Jewish school and American banks were attacked in Liège, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Antwerp and Paris. Most of those arrested were teenagers, recruited over social media. What the series shows about how threats reach Europe today — and how they are stopped.

Airports & critical sites

The drone is in the air. The pilot is on the ground.

A year after the first drone alarms over Belgian bases and airports, nobody has been identified. Detecting a drone is only half the problem. The other half is getting from a sighting to a person.

Antwerp seizes less cocaine. Where did it go?

In the first half of 2026, customs in Antwerp seized a third of what it found a year earlier. Then, in one week of September, came three catches — one of almost 2.4 tonnes. What the figures say, and what they don’t.
