Request Romania DemoRomanian Public Safety Market Challenges
Romania's MAI model with police, gendarmerie, ISU/SMURD, and STS coordination across 41 counties, the Vrancea seismic risk, and PNRR modernisation opportunities create a dynamic environment for technology providers.
41 counties and MAI/ISU/STS/SAJ coordination
Coordinating Poliția Română and Jandarmeria across 41 counties and Bucharest with ISU/SMURD, SAJ ambulances, and STS TETRA infrastructure — through MAI DIU integrated dispatch centres and STS 112 centres, with interoperability between four different agencies under MAI.
Seismic management (Vrancea zone) and floods
Romania is one of Europe's highest seismic risk countries (Vrancea zone — historical magnitudes above 7.0) and faces flood risk from the Danube, Siret, Prut, and Olt rivers. ISU/SMURD and Poliția Română coordination during natural disasters requires real-time situational awareness platforms integrated with RO-ALERT.
STS TETRA/ROIIS network and NG112 modernisation
Integrating CAD systems with the STS TETRA/ROIIS network while modernising towards NG112/eCall and broadband — with PNRR funds for emergency communications modernisation and coverage expansion in rural and Carpathian mountain areas.
GDPR/ANSPDCP, Law 333/2003 and DNSC/NIS2
Complying with GDPR (Law 190/2018), Law 218/2002, Law 333/2003 (video surveillance), EU Law Enforcement Directive 2016/680, and DNSC/CERT-RO (NIS2) requirements for systems classified as critical infrastructure under MAI, ISU, and STS.

FAQ: Public Safety in Romania
How is public safety organised in Romania?
Romania has a centralised public safety system under the Ministerul Afacerilor Interne (MAI — Ministry of Internal Affairs). The Poliția Română is the national police force, organised across 41 Inspectorate Județene de Poliție (County Police Inspectorates) plus the IGPR (Inspectoratul General al Poliției Române — General Inspectorate of the Romanian Police) as the national headquarters. The Jandarmeria Română (Gendarmerie) is the paramilitary force under MAI responsible for public order and rural security. The ISU (Inspectoratul General pentru Situații de Urgență — General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations) is the national body coordinating emergency response, merging fire brigades (Pompieri) and SMURD (Serviciul Mobil de Urgență, Reanimare și Descarcerare — the high-capability HEMS/paramedic service). Pre-hospital ambulance services are the SAJ (Serviciu de Ambulanță Județean — one per county) and SABIF for Bucharest. The SRI (Serviciul Român de Informații) is the domestic intelligence/counter-terrorism service. The unified emergency number is 112.
How does emergency dispatch work in Romania? What is the Romanian TETRA network?
Romania operates a single unified emergency number: 112, managed by the STS (Serviciul de Telecomunicații Speciale — Special Telecommunications Service). The Dispecerate Integrate de Urgență (DIU — integrated emergency dispatch centres) coordinate police, fire/SMURD, and ambulance dispatch in each județ/county. The STS operates the emergency telecommunications infrastructure including the Romanian TETRA network for MAI, ISU, and SMURD services. The ROIIS (Romanian Integrated Information System) is the digital TETRA network operated by STS for all Romanian public safety services. STS also operates the RO-ALERT emergency alert system (Cell Broadcast equivalent) for notifying the population during emergencies. Romania is modernising its emergency communications infrastructure with PNRR (National Recovery and Resilience Plan) funds.
What is the data protection framework for public safety software in Romania?
Romania implemented EU GDPR directly as an EU member state. The supervisory authority is the ANSPDCP (Autoritatea Națională de Supraveghere a Prelucrării Datelor cu Caracter Personal — National Authority for the Supervision of Personal Data Processing). Law 190/2018 complements GDPR in Romanian legislation. Police systems are additionally subject to Law 218/2002 (Organic Law of the Romanian Police) and specific MAI regulations on data processing in public safety systems. The EU Law Enforcement Directive 2016/680 was implemented in Romanian law through Emergency Ordinance 3/2018. Video surveillance in public spaces is governed by Law 333/2003 (amended) and ANSPDCP surveillance guidelines. Data sharing between MAI, ISU, STS, and SAJ systems requires ANSPDCP-compliant data exchange agreements.
How is public safety software procured in Romania?
Romanian public procurement is governed by Law 98/2016 (Legea achizițiilor publice — Public Procurement Law), implementing EU directives. Tenders are published on SICAP (Sistemul Informatic Colaborativ pentru Achiziții Publice — Collaborative IT System for Public Procurement), the Romanian e-procurement portal, formerly known as SEAP. MAI and IGPR directly procure Poliția Română systems. ISU procures its fire/SMURD systems. STS procures TETRA and telecommunications infrastructure. The 41 SAJ counties plus SABIF have autonomy in procuring ambulance dispatch systems. Large contracts (above EU thresholds) appear on TED/OJEU. PNRR (National Recovery and Resilience Plan) funds and EU Structural Funds co-finance Romanian public safety modernisation.
What are the cybersecurity requirements for public safety software in Romania?
Cybersecurity in Romania is regulated by the DNSC (Directoratul Național de Securitate Cibernetică — National Directorate for Cybersecurity), transposing the EU NIS2 Directive. Law 362/2018 and its updates implement NIS requirements for essential service operators and digital infrastructure. CERT-RO (Romanian Computer Emergency Response Team) handles national incident response under DNSC. STS manages emergency communications and government TETRA infrastructure security. MAI, ISU, and STS systems are classified as critical infrastructure and must comply with DNSC standards. Law 51/1991 (National Security) and CSAT regulations govern classified government information systems. SRI coordinates cybersecurity for classified systems.
What Smart City and public safety digitalisation projects exist in Romania?
Romania drives public safety digitalisation primarily with EU funds. The IM project modernises Poliția Română information systems with PNRR funds. Smart Cluj-Napoca integrates traffic cameras, ANPR, and ISU data with the urban control centre. Timișoara and Bucharest also have Smart City programmes integrating urban cameras and emergency data. The STS 112-RO system is being modernised with Next Generation 112 (NG112/eCall) capabilities to receive automatic vehicle alerts and multimedia data. The SMURD Digital programme modernises SMURD dispatch and medical telemetry systems. The RO-ALERT Cell Broadcast system covers the entire territory for seismic alerts (Romania has high seismicity — Vrancea zone), floods, and CBRN incidents.
