Leveraging Crime Analytics to Transform Public Safety

Technology is changing the way we communicate, do our jobs, and keep our communities safe. With advanced crime analytics, public safety organizations have the opportunity to proactively reduce crime without additional resources. To show how technology is helping keep communities safe, GovLoop and IBM® partnered to create digital resources and trainings centered on the transformative power of analytics for public safety officials in the digital age. These resources are designed to highlight how analytics has been used to help combat recidivism, predict crime, prevent crime, increase situational awareness and optimize resource deployment for public safety administrators. They include the following:

1. An Industry Perspective: Public Safety in the Digital Age, which includes expert insights from:

• Mike Reade, Public Safety Specialist, IBM® Integrated Smarter Solutions
• James Lingerfelt, Senior Consultant, IBM®
• David Edwards, Global Public Safety Offering Manager, IBM® Smarter Cities.

2. A Training Webinar: Intelligent Law Enforcement & Analytics to Help Keep Communities Safe, which includes insights from:

• Dr. Richard Rosenfeld, Curators Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice, University of Missouri and criminologist in residence at the Metropolitan St. Louis Police Department.
• Mike Reade, Public Safety Specialist, IBM® Integrated Smarter Solutions

3. A series of thought leadership articles written by GovLoop staff, highlighting three case studies of success stories through the application of analytics:

• The Public Safety Journey into Analytics: New York Police Department Case Study
• Measuring the ROI of Crime Analytics: Case Study from Lancaster County
• Leveraging Crime Analytics: Miami-Dade County Blue PALMS Program

We know you may not have time to review all of these materials (although we recommend it!) For this reason, we created a three-page case study that summarizes all of the above resources. If you are looking for place to get quick information, this is it.
