Statement of Work (SOW) Albanian State Police (ASP) Database Servers and Oracle Licenses

GENERAL

The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) is an instrumental leader in the development of policies and programs to combat international narcotics and crime. INL programs support two of the Department of States' strategic goals: (1) to reduce the entry of illegal drugs into the United States; and (2) to minimize the impact of international crime on the United States and its citizens. One of the many ways to effectively meet the listed goals is to partner with allied governments both directly and indirectly to promote the modernization of and support the enforcement operations of their foreign criminal justice systems and law enforcement agencies.

INL, through the U.S. Department of Justice International Criminal Investigative Training and Assistance Program (ICITAP) in Albania, has committed extensive resources to foster the long-term strategic and organizational changes required within the Albanian Ministry of Interior (MOI) to enable the successful and sustainable implementation of its IT infrastructure. US Embassy, Tirana, Albania believes the development of a modern IT system is a crucial element for law enforcement reform in Albania and strongly supports the Albanian State Police’s (ASP) efforts in this area. Through the use of modern integrated information management systems, ICITAP has improved the ASP’s capability to fight terrorism and organized crime; combat trafficking-in-persons, narcotics, and vehicles; document police performance; handle criminal case evidence, and manage police resources.

The database servers supporting the ASP information technology system require upgrading prior to integration of the PISCES system which is being fielded by the Department of State Bureau of Counter Terrorism (CT).
