Esri Press Releases Protecting the People: GIS for Law Enforcement
REDLANDS, Calif.—November 10, 2022—Location intelligence is changing the way law enforcement agencies approach crime analysis, open policing, and field mobility. By applying geographic information system (GIS) software, these organizations are using sophisticated data analysis and mapping to gain a better understanding of the places they serve and the methods to do so. To help support these efforts, Esri, the global leader in GIS, has just released Protecting the People: GIS for Law Enforcement.
The latest book in the Applying GIS series, Protecting the People: GIS for Law Enforcement explains the various ways police departments and law enforcement organizations can use GIS. It contains real-life stories demonstrating how location intelligence enables data-driven crime-analysis strategies and drives better decision-making in everyday operations.
Protecting the People is coedited by Esri’s director of law enforcement, John Beck, and Matt Artz, a writer, contributor, and principal content strategist for Esri Press. Readers will learn how a geographic approach can improve crime analysis, streamline operations, and promote community policing initiatives.
Protecting the People is available in print (ISBN: 9781589487291, 114 pages, US$23.99) and as an ebook (ISBN: 9781589487307, US$23.99).
