"WebFOCUS has enabled us to capture and analyze crime data much more proficiently. As a result, the technology has helped us deploy our officers where they would be most needed, which has reduced crime, but equally important, reduced citizens' calls and the dispatch of officers."
Rodney D. Monroe,
Chief of Police, Richmond Police Department

Law Enforcement Analyst console allows commanders to deploy forces more efficiently by not only showing what, where, and when crimes have occurred, but also by predicting where they are likely to occur in the future.

Law Enforcement Analytics

For law enforcement professionals, information is critical to fighting crime. Yet, most law enforcement agencies are awash in data from multiple siloed systems that are difficult to integrate. They are, in effect, data rich – but information poor. For law enforcement professionals to do their jobs, they need intelligent, timely, and complete analysis of data from many sources – including criminal histories, incident reports, crime tips, and 911 calls as well as applications such as CAD, RMS, and JMS.

Information Builders has a number of product offerings that help law enforcement agencies perform their jobs more effectively, allowing them to integrate disparate systems and synthesize data from a wide variety of applications. This initiative, called intelligence-led policing, has dramatically reduced crime in departments that have integrated it into their operations.
