Intelligence-Led Policing
An effective intelligence-led policing operation requires a suite of tools and techniques that capture and codify answers to a variety of questions: what, how, why, who, and—perhaps most important for response—where. Where is further investigation needed, and where can the system provide consistent opportunities to enhance law enforcement? GIS and a geographic approach can answer the where, integrating and translating data and information into a coherent, relevant picture. Intelligence-led policing involves many disciplines—crime analysis, intelligence collection, information exploitation, critical infrastructure analysis and protection, and logistics management. Intelligence-led policing also requires multiple sources of data and information, creating a composite, flexible system that can be molded and shaped to attack emerging or existing problems. No matter the discipline or the data, any time the severity of a situation increases, there is a need for an integrated GIS to organize, understand, and manage the data and information around it. GIS provides solutions that enable law enforcement agencies to
GIS also provides the ability to learn from situations and exploit best practices. Through ModelBuilder in ArcGIS Spatial Analyst, analysts and officers can capture workflows. These workflows can be replicated or modified to attack new crimes and new threats. By saving time and more effectively allocating resources, law enforcement can continually work to fine-tune and improve their efforts. GIS tools serve the core of intelligence-led policing. The geographic advantage can enable decision makers across the organization with the appropriate and actionable information and intelligence they need. Related Materials |
