In 2018, bulk carrier Irongate was travelling from Brisbane and Gladstone when its chief officer approved the dumping of its rubbish into the sea. The equivalent of a 120-litre household garbage bin full of food waste was released into the world heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef National Park, about 24 kilometres southeast of Lady Elliot Island.
Comtrac worked with National Heavy Vehicle Regulator to deliver increased transparency and consistency to their investigation management processes. The streamlined solution automatically generates briefs of evidence and investigative outputs.
In a bid to maintain operational efficiency and effectiveness amidst reducing resources, many investigative agencies opt for a Case Management System (CMS). However, the inherent design of a CMS means that they're often not as productive as the agency would have liked.
The Department of Agriculture, Water and Environment (AWE) administers the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
AWE enhances Australia’s agriculture, environment, heritage, and water resources, reduces environmental impacts and facilitates economic development.
Digital transformation is impacting on all industries, private and public, and investigation agencies are no exception. As a result, the Australian Government Investigations Standards (AGIS) was updated in October 2022 to reflect, in part, the increasing use of digital evidence.
As an approved AXON integrator, Comtrac is excited to sponsor and present at Innovate Australia in Brisbane. The free conference brings together public safety experts from Australia and overseas to discuss cutting-edge public safety technology.
Several recent large-scale breaches in Australia have highlighted the importance for organisations to constantly review, maintain and adapt their approach to data security. Dave Tormey, Comtrac's Chief Technology and Information Security Officer shared his insights.
