In a lively discussion with Dr. Eric Piza from Northeastern University and Dr. Grant Drawve, VP of Geospatial Crime Solutions at CAP Index, the two experts explored the power of geospatial crime data in helping law enforcement agencies make better decisions and improve public safety.
A key takeaway from the conversation was the critical role of crime analysts in transforming data into actionable insights. As crime data becomes more complex, having dedicated analysts within law enforcement agencies is vital for understanding crime patterns, identifying hotspots, and optimizing resource allocation.
Dr. Piza and Dr. Drawve discussed how data visualization and geospatial mapping can drive preventative strategies that are more effective at addressing crime before it happens. Moreover, they emphasized that collaborative partnerships between researchers and law enforcement are essential for producing data-driven outcomes that make communities safer.
If your agency is considering building out or expanding a crime analysis team, this conversation is full of valuable insights.
