Goal and impact

The purpose of the demonstrations dashboard is to create an overview of all notified demonstrations. This is used to prepare for facilitating demonstrations and to identify developments that the municipality needs to anticipate. This allows the municipality to better facilitate demonstrations while observing public order.

Considerations

We in Amsterdam get many notifications for demonstrations every year (1656 in 2023, over 2000 in 2024 until September). These come in via a notification form. Demonstrating is a fundamental right. To protect this right, the municipality, police and prosecutor's office are actively committed. From the input of the notifications, we look at what is needed to do this. And in response to police information, we evaluate the course of demonstrations.

Human intervention

With the data visualisation, the policy officers gain insight into the system reality of the notification(s). This is part of a broad consideration with various organisations, such as the Police. Based on this, the police provide a risk and capacity assessment for the demonstration. Data visualisation at OOV does not provide an automated advice or solution.

Risk management

Demonstrating is a fundamental right. People are free to demonstrate for any purpose. It may happen that the organiser of a demonstration demonstrates to draw attention to issues linked to religion, gender, political views, etc. The law does not allow the mayor to interfere with the content of a demonstration. Only the purpose of a demonstration is requested and recorded at the time of notification in order to include it in the risk assessment, e.g. whether a backlash can be expected and protective measures are needed. This purpose can be assumed to also be made known by the demonstrators/organisation during the demonstration.


Risk management:

- Uses only necessary data (anonymised)

- Limited access to data visualisation through personal authorisation by role/function (only accessible to Team Demonstrations)

- Content consideration is a human consideration.

- There is a DPIA of the Datawarehouse OOV

- There will be a DPIA of the demonstration process



Risk factors:

- Personal data

- Location data (of the notified demonstration)

- Combining data (looking back)

- Sensitive data (special personal data)



Mitigation against risk:

- Uses only necessary data

- Limited access to data visualisation through personal authorisation by role/function

- Content consideration is a human consideration.

Legal basis

Public Events Act

Operations

Data

Notified demonstrations arrive as Notifications. We make weekly overviews of these. With the weekly overviews, we inform the mayor and use them for coordination with the triangle. We also use the data to analyse trends over longer periods. For example, to gain insight into the number of demonstrations spread over time (per year and month) and locations (where are the most demonstrations).


All personal data may apply. The organiser who registers the demonstration with the municipality is free to fill in the field containing information about the demonstration or the organiser of the demonstration. This could therefore potentially be (special) personal data.

Technical design

Architecture of the model:

The system provides a visual representation of the data by summing them by location or month. The system also puts the demonstrations in a weekly summary.
