GIS & Crime Mapping

Innogistic’s Cartology DSI (desktop GIS) system, is used by a number of police constabularies for crime mapping. Examples include:

Crime Pattern Analysis

Using techniques such as hotspot and choropleth mapping, complex patterns of crime may be easily visualised in spatial and temporal dimensions.

Crime Scene Mapping

Preparing detailed maps of crime scenes is of vital importance. Crime scene maps are used both in the investigation process, and when requested by the Crown Court to aid jury understanding.

Operational Planning

Detailed location plans of proposed sites for police raids are of crucial importance in terms of operational planning, and in communicating where police officers should be located.
