Supporting law enforcement resources with predictive policing
Police departments are well aware that the mere presence of a uniformed officer or marked patrol car is a deterrent to many kinds of criminal activity, but getting police in the right places before a crime occurs has always been a challenge. Tight budgets often make it difficult to put more officers on the streets, but by applying more powerful analytics to existing data, law enforcement agencies can improve their understanding of crime and make better use of their resources through predictive policing.
