Public Safety & Emergency Services Best Practices
Law enforcement agencies face a multitude of tasks and challenges in their daily responsibility of protecting life and property while keeping the peace in their communities.
Virtually every task and challenge has a geographic component. These tasks require both strategic and tactical planning in rapidly changing social, economic, and political environments. While law enforcement agencies collect vast amounts of data, only a very small part of this information can be absorbed from spreadsheets and database files. GIS provides a visual, spatial means of displaying data, allowing law enforcement agencies to integrate and leverage their data for more informed decision making.
GIS allows law enforcement and criminal justice personnel to effectively plan for emergency response, determine mitigation priorities, analyse historical events, and predict future events. GIS can also be used to get critical information to emergency responders upon dispatch or while en route to an incident to assist in tactical planning and response.
The Law Enforcement Best Practices document details a few of the many applications of GIS technology for law enforcement.
