in managing, operating and maintaining the existing centres should be codified and used in designing the new community access projects. Community Portal Project With the emerging information age, the familiar sight of a ‘black board’ outside of community halls, advertising community events, is quickly becoming a thing of the past. However, there is still a need to maintain community involvement and participation, and to share information within the local communities. This is where ICT can revolutionize the way communities collaborate with each other. The Community Portal Project is an online resource for community information, communication, advertisements, and bulletins. Information would need to be presented using simple gateways so that community members can access content relevant to their community fairly quickly and easily. As a Quick Win, a pilot initiative can be considered to launch the portal in the early implementation phase of the Strategy. This pilot will feature a few key communities and will showcase the prototype, detailing the layout and design as well as the type of information that the portal will contain. Once the pilot is successfully launched, the Community Portal can then be expanded to include all communities, and to become the new and improved way of encouraging community participation. Both these initiatives will incorporate an aggressive promotion and awareness campaign to ensure that the public will utilise these facilities and services, and it will become part of their everyday lives. 4.9 National Security National Security Integration Programme Several initiatives that are in train within the Royal St. Lucia Police Force need to be integrated and interconnected with the overall administration of justice systems. This Programme is intended to build on the existing infrastructure and to eventually feed into the largely paper‐ based justice systems to enable improved public safety and national security. It will build on the crime reporting system and the current telecommunications infrastructure. In the first instance, the Police Force will introduce technology‐supported command and control systems through the introduction of robust, secure digital radio communications across all national security organisations, commencing with the Police Force itself. Electronic fingerprinting will be introduced and mechanisms to enable authorised access to this secure [34]
