Estonia's police and border guard answers around 1.83 million requests per day — patrol, border, ID-document management.

The Police and Border Guard Board (PPA) combines police, border guard and ID-document management in one agency — spread across 58 of its own subsystems. The largest: kilp (patrol/command), interlyys2 + esis (Schengen border), itdak and abis (ID documents and biometrics), skeeld (entry bans). The largest consumer of PPA services is the PPA itself.

Four thematic clusters

The 58 PPA subsystems are grouped into four clusters — patrol/operations, border & Schengen, identity & documents, and foreigners & migration. Shares are daily averages over Dec 2025 – May 2026. Each cluster page lists the grouped subsystems.

Key facts about overall usage

What the aggregate data reveals about the Police and Border Guard Board (PPA).

806k/day

KILP dominates

Tactical command KILP generates about 806,000 calls per day — the single largest function in police IT.

PPA → PPA

The agency is its own main consumer

Most of the roughly 1.83 M daily calls come from the PPA itself — operational and case workflows run over X-Road, not separate police intranets.

Schengen

Schengen deeply wired in

Through the Schengen border interface (interlyys2) and the national SIS (esis), about 451,000 queries per day run against EU-wide alerts.
