Intelligence management software for law enforcement agencies



Intelligence management plays a vital role in all policing activities as it increases the effectiveness and performance of policing services in a number of ways. It supports collaboration and information sharing, enables the use of analytics to strengthen intelligence-led policing and helps increase public confidence.

Intelligence management software can help law enforcement agencies to take advantage of the new data mining technologies available and marry those technologies to the street knowledge that had been gathered in the past by the cop walking the beat. Rather than relevant information being limited to a few, data mining techniques allow critical information to be collected from your whole jurisdiction and analysed from a wide variety of perspectives to help you achieve your specific objectives. The benefit of this accumulation and concentration of data is efficiency on multiple levels.

Intelligence management software takes over the sheer magnitude of sifting through tens of thousands of individual pieces of data relating to criminal activity. By automating data collection and analysis, less personnel are needed to do the “grunt” work of connecting the dots. All relevant data that has been entered into the system is available for your inspection, no files left in a filing cabinet in the basement somewhere. Data can be rapidly analysed from different scenarios and perspectives. Data is presented in visual format which allows you to see patterns more easily in large collections of data. Moreover, this real-time data can be sent directly to mobile phones for in-car computers to alert officers of potential threats or impending dangers in specific geographic areas. Essentially, this predictive policing technology is at work to give decision-makers the ability to see where the most needed resources are in a community and to apply the necessary officers to that region.

You save money and make best use of resources with intelligence management software because you can pinpoint more specifically the areas that need increased attention. Another best use of resources is that your database contains profiles of who does what types of crimes, allowing you to focus your initial investigations on the most likely suspects. Detecting crime trends earlier allows you to address them sooner and reduce the adverse impacts they have on your community. Being able to look at all the components of crime, such as time of day, weather, location and type of crime, allows you correlate patterns of activity and anticipate possible future combination of those factors to anticipate criminal activity. What if you could sift through tips looking for patterns? Maybe a crime has twelve different vehicles described by various tips, but looking at all the tips, you could more easily and quickly see what the predominant vehicle description was, with a higher probability of being correct.

Protect students and staff with school CCTV

Find out the best way in which we can keep our schools safe and free from crime and other things such as bullying and abuse. By having a CCTV system in place you will be able to monitor what is happening on site, take action if you need to and it will also stop things from happening too.

Safety at school is a huge concern for everyone, as we all want children to feel safe and protected at all times, and it is also important for the staff members to feel safe too. There are a few potential dangers and threats towards our schools which we need to do all we can to prevent, and this includes things such as people on the premises who should not be, damages towards the buildings, bullying, truancy, abuse towards staff members and much more. The best way to prevent these kinds of things from happening and also the best way to monitor what is happening all around the school is to have a CCTV system put in place.

Having security cameras around the school will allow you to have eyes everywhere, and they will be able to capture what is happening and allow you to take action should you need to. School CCTV systems also stop crime and bad behaviour from happening as people will be aware of the cameras and this acts as a deterrent. It will stop students from bullying, stop truancy from occurring as well as any crime happening on site.

It is clear all the advantages that these systems bring, so help protect staff members as well as all of the students by getting a security system put in place which will monitor the entire premises. The evidence will be there should you ever need to use it, and perhaps most importantly it will also stop things from happening in the first place too.

Protect you and those around you with high definition CCTV

Discover the importance of CCTV cameras and how they will protect you from crime. They act as a deterrent but will also allow you to have great evidence if you are victim to crime, and having a high definition camera will give you the best evidence possible.

We live in a day and age where security and surveillance are a must, and whilst this is unfortunate it is also a necessity. Most areas where there are lots of people you will now find CCTV cameras and a security system in place, and this is true of high street stores, train stations, supermarkets, leisure centres, corporate offices, social centres and many other places. It is also becoming increasingly common to see people having their own CCTV cameras for their homes, and this is so that they feel safe and protected whilst at home. These cameras and systems are put in place and are all around us, and this is because they can provide excellent evidence if you ever need to do so, but perhaps more importantly they also act as a deterrent, as someone is unlikely to do something that they shouldn’t if they know that a security camera is around.

If you are looking for CCTV cameras for your place of work or for your home then make sure that you opt for high definition CCTV cameras, as these are the best available cameras and will allow you to provide excellent evidence. If you have to enter a court case for example then an HD camera will provide clearer, more complete evidence over a regular camera where it may be out of focused and therefore inconclusive. You will be amazed at the clarity that these cameras can provide, and they will help you to feel protected and have peace of mind.
