Maps and spatial analysis have long helped police understand where and when crime is occurring so that they can deploy resources more effectively. But today's location-based technology is doing much more. Law enforcement agencies can now use Esri's GIS-powered maps and apps to support executive decision-making, manage field operations, power real-time situational awareness, and drive community engagement efforts.

  • Perform analysis

    Mapping and performing analysis of crime incidents help police make informed decisions about when and where to deploy resources. Analysts can use Esri tools to import and manage data, perform analysis, and share their work via interactive information products.

  • Enable situational awareness

    Mobile apps help officers access assignment details, view past incidents in their vicinity, collect and edit data, and share their location. Dashboards integrate live data feeds and personnel locations in real time for a complete operational picture.

  • Manage operations

    Executives can monitor current crime problems and ongoing missions via interactive dashboards that help them make better, more informed decisions and keep communities safe.

  • Engage the community

    Police can use ArcGIS Hub technology to connect with citizens, improve agency access to data, and share information about ongoing police activities and events.

Esri is ready to help your agency meet these new challenges with modern GIS technology that supports missions today, with the flexibility to meet challenges that may come tomorrow.
