Crime & Disorder

Location Based Crime Matching and Management System for UK Police Force."...criminality data sets only tell part of the story and are often viewed in isolation of each other, particularly where different organisations are involved. Rarely are they joined up in one highly impactive visual representation to test a hypothesis and provide a real opportunity for a more focused, cohesive, cost effective response."

Highlights:

• The MapCite mobile reporting tool enables a wide range of data to be collected and visualized in a way that previously wasn't possible. This means the results of time spent engaging with communities to discover the 'hidden' intelligence about local criminal activity, can now be mapped and a more accurate local picture can be rapidly established.

• Mapping local data enables teams to graphically understand the relationship between gang residence, gang activity, commercial premises type, transport hubs, refreshment outlets, pubs, clubs or any other physical location. Utilising existing data, we bring stakeholders together in a confidential, productive, and supported way and enable public services to change for the better with minimal cost and input.
