Crime GIS

For law enforcement agencies to be as effective as possible when dealing with crime, they need to have the ability to understand and use their current incident data and the information generated by past crime incident responses to help protect against and prevent future incidents. One of the most efficient and helpful ways of doing this is by using an Intergraph geographic information system (GIS) for crime analysis and mapping.

What Intergraph crime GIS solutions provide is the ability to add value to the vast amount of data law enforcement agencies accumulate every day. Our crime mapping software analyzes important incident information and can translate it into a variety of easy-to-understand, geographical representations of crime frequency, time occurrence, and other incident trends.

Intergraph GIS Solutions Around the World

Public safety agencies across the globe benefit from the incident response management systems Intergraph can provide. Take the Sonoma County, California, Public Safety Consortium for example. It uses Intergraph's crime mapping and analysis software solutions to pull data from CAD and records management to spot trends and increase safety in its community. With this information, the Consortium can profile and highlight areas where offenders and suspects reside, and where they may focus their activities.

Versatile Crime Mapping Software

With Intergraph crime mapping software, police departments have the ability to better understand where crime occurs using spatial analysis and digital mapping capabilities. You can pinpoint problem areas by more efficiently analyzing data recorded by other public safety applications and comparing specific locations with factors such as time, distance to other geographic features, and offense statistics. Once law enforcement agencies define the location of crime hot spots, they will have a better idea how much of their resources should be allocated to specific areas, which means a more efficient use of those resources.

For law enforcement agencies using Intergraph crime GIS solutions, data is available in two map types - simple and complex. Simple maps provide the basic knowledge needed to effectively distribute resources by displaying location data for individual incidents. Complex maps provide the ability to track crime action in specific locations that have been designated high frequency areas, and also give you the ability to view trends and changes over time.

With Intergraph crime mapping software, analyzing and visualizing crime data has never been easier. Contact us today and put our crime GIS solutions to work for you.

GIS Features

The benefits of a crime GIS mapping tool from Intergraph are a result of the variety of mapping features it provides. When law enforcement agencies implement our crime mapping software, they'll benefit from:

Data Connectivity. Access law enforcement records management systems, web based computer aided dispatch database, and other sources of incident data.
Pin Mapping. Create color-coded pin maps by incident date, location, offense type, or other attributes used within your database.
Incident Count Mapping. Create color-coded maps using incident count information to represent police precincts, city voting districts, census tracts, or other defined geographic areas.
Journey to Incident Mapping. Use crime mapping software to analyze data based on average and maximum distances traveled by serial offenders to commit crimes and routes taken after a crime through the linking of recovered property.
Repeat Incident Mapping. Compare repeat incident locations and the number of incidents using graduated point symbols to represent incident occurrences.
Hot Spot Mapping. Automatically extract crime hot spots from incident maps to determine where police patrols should be directed.
Isoline Mapping. Easily create isoline maps to display complex crime data in a simplified way to identify frequency changes in specific areas.
Change-Over-Time Mapping. More accurately assess the affect of crime reduction efforts and recognize areas of increasing criminal activity by visualizing change over time in map form.
Temporal Reporting. Stay up to date on the latest local crime trends and patterns using incident/time-of-day histograms.
