Big Data assumes a preponderant role in the intervention in the most diverse areas of intervention, to which the police area is no stranger. This theoretical article seeks to open ways to understand the Big Data phenomenon in police intervention at micro and macro levels, as a tool inserted in police technology. On the other hand, to present the concept aggregated to real data, and its distancing in police intervention. The methodology used for this purpose was literature analysis, in which inclusion and exclusion criteria are presented to consolidate the analysis in question. From the authors’ perspective, it is pointed out that as an instrument of police technology, Big Data provides the necessary information, in terms of volume and quantity, taking into account the different levels of police intervention, and is a resource that increases efficiency in the maintenance of public order.
