Law enforcement across the country are working to fulfill the President\u2019s Police Data Initiative (PDI) to improve public trust and police legitimacy. GIS is an invaluable tool to help communities use open data to protect lives, property, and critical infrastructure. Esri has committed a vast amount of software and resources to help police departments across the nation access and understand information in order to keep communities safer.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThe U.S. Department of Homeland Security\u2019s Homeland Infrastructure Foundation Level Data (HIFLD) provides national foundation-level geospatial data that can be used to support community preparedness, resiliency, research, and more. Esri\u2019s ArcGIS platform is the system that provides access to this information.
\nTonight, Esri will be hosting a meet up for federal and local government leaders, GIS technologists and developers at the Esri R&D facility in Arlington, Va., so communities and law enforcement agencies can:
\n– Get the most out of their authoritative location data and use HIFLD data
\n– Configure and deploy maps and apps for public consumption and safety
\n– Take advantage of ArcGIS Open Data Initiative for Law Enforcement
\nTravis Hardy, Geospatial Practice Lead at Ardent Management Consulting (ArdentMC), an Esri partner, shared the following on the importance of HIFLD Open:
\n\u201cWe believe HIFLD Open represents a new paradigm shift for both \u2018how\u2019 and \u2018for whom\u2019 DHS can deliver foundation-level geospatial data that supports the entire Homeland Security enterprise. Using the ArcGIS platform, Federal, State, Local, Tribal, Territorial, Commercial Sector, and Academia can come together to interact with open foundation-level geospatial information to help strengthen and protect the resiliency of our Nation\u2019s critical infrastructure. No longer is open data simply \u2018digital exhaust\u2019 billowing out from the Federal Government. Rather, by using Open Data for ArcGIS, we now have a \u2018data engine\u2019 that is fueled by active community engagement to drive a whole-of-the-Nation approach for helping to make our Homeland a safer place.\u201d
\nTonight’s presentations include:
\nThe White House Police Data Initiative: Using Data and Technology to Build Community Trust<\/strong>
\nDenice Ross, Senior Advisor, Community Solutions at The White House Office of Management and Budget
\nA Whole of the Nation Approach: Homeland Security\u2019s Evolution Towards Disseminating Open Geospatial Data<\/strong>
\nMike Donnelly, Program Lead, HIFLD Program, Geospatial Management Office, U.S. Department of Homeland Security
