Our colleagues in England have just launched a new blog that focuses on GIS for the police and others who work with public safety (Public Safety). The URL for this new blog is crimemapping.pbbiblogs.com.
Police and security guards wrestle with the same requirements as others in terms of resource optimization and to stay within budget. When you work in crime analysis, law enforcement and tackling the impact of crime and accidents, there are often several organizations working together, and there must be a synergy between their data and systems. Then it is just a way of geography linking data in a clear and cost effective manner. Everything that happens occurs somewhere, at a specific location.
Analysis based on historical data on crimes and accidents as well as projections for future development. When this analysis is done with GIS, it is possible to display areas of high concentration (hot spots), daily and seasonal trends, find demographic correlations or urban planning impact, such as good lighting, walkways, and open access to youth activities.
Operational work is based on where the resources are and where they are needed. This includes field applications, but also the central interaction with data from other organizations such as health care resources, field assistants, or traffic conditions.
The English-language product we developed for the analysis has been named Crime Profiler. For more information please read the booklet Crime Reduction and Public Safety.
