Treating EA (IT) as Enterprise Architecture is structurally similar to studying the human skeleton and assuming it represents the entire human anatomy. The skeleton is essential, but it does not explain circulation, respiration, immunity, or neural control. No physician would confuse skeletal anatomy with the anatomy of the human body.
Most Interior, Police, and Public Safety organisations still treat Enterprise Architecture as a policing IT or surveillance modernisation exercise. As a result, EA initiatives fail to improve preventive policing, incident response time, case resolution rates, permit governance, inter-agency coordination, or public trust.
