Exceptional Analytics Tool Joins Police Ranks
A new law enforcement analytics technology allows public safety staff to have a comprehensive view into crime statistics in their community.
The cloud application, Law Enforcement Analytics is a new data-rich product for public safety command staff that was recently launched by Tyler Technologies.
With the tool, law enforcement officers can identify types of crime that have increased or decreased in a given area, determine and visualize where crimes occurred, and pinpoint when crime types occur most frequently. This information allows law enforcement agencies to create specific plans or tactics in a certain region, for a specific crime type, or over a given timeframe, according to businesswire.com.
The solution provides a visual representation for command staff that summarizes crimes across police beats and sectors, allowing users to view all active tactics in the area. The information enables agencies to
- Address crime patterns by defining and improving tactics
- Show the impact of tactics on crime via dashboards
- Reduce time spent preparing statistical reports and alleviate resources
- Manage multiple improvement initiatives
Crime statistics can be compared before, during, and after tactics are implemented to determine effectiveness or redefine actions as needed. In addition to helping command staff easily identify insights about crime patterns, the information can be easily shared throughout the agency, so others are aware of the impact certain tactics have on crime within a community.
