Patrol Operations

Police patrols act as a deterrent to criminal activity. Spatial analysis helps police operations personnel determine where and when to deploy resources to have the greatest impact on crime. Mobile apps can be used to send information and alerts to officers in the field, while dashboards track patrol activities in real time. The chief and command staff can evaluate mission success using CompStat dashboards.

Patrol operations capabilities

Integrate data with operational dashboards

Operations staff can use dashboards to understand ongoing events, manage incidents, monitor calls for service, and access personnel locations in real time. Dashboards can integrate data from multiple sources, including agency databases; ArcGIS mobile apps; sensor systems such as AVL, LPR, and CCTV; and any other location-enabled devices.

Support any evidence-based policing strategy

From analysis and planning to implementation and evaluation, modern policing strategies start and end with ArcGIS. Crime analysts identify problems, analytical products are shared with command staff to help make operational decisions, officers in the field can see assignments using mobile apps, and law enforcement executives can evaluate mission success using strategic dashboards.

Collect and share real-time data

Esri mobile apps can help field personnel find locations and information, collect and edit data, report real-time locations, conduct field interviews, and work in connected or disconnected environments. All data collected can be shared in real time and is captured for later review.
