Management
GIS for Crime Analysis, Law Enforcement, and Public Safety
Law enforcement agencies face unique and new challenges combating crime in the 21st century. To address the ever-changing activities of some of the most sophisticated criminals to small time offenders, GIS has helped manage enormous amounts of location-based data to create actionable intelligence that is used and shared within an agency and other law enforcement partners. Agencies are increasingly realizing the importance of applying geospatial technology to police work. Over 20 years ago when I first became a police officer, the term “GIS” in police work was unheard of, although to some degree it was being applied to crime fighting strategies. The crime maps were police beats or police sectors that were drawn on transparencies and projected on a screen. There was a transparency for minor crimes, arrests, calls, and major incidents. This kind of manual process was long and tedious. In addition, officers were using hardcopy push pin maps to track crime trends and patterns. Later on, we upgraded to the use of Microsoft PowerPoint.
