Pitney Bowes Business Insight together with ST Group has launched MapInfo Crime Profiler, a fully automated crime analysis and visualisation solution for police forces and security companies in South Africa. It will assist local authorities – and the private sector – to better understand and more effectively respond to the nature and scale of crime in their neighbourhoods and in their businesses. In recent years, crime analysis and mapping has become an essential tool for effective law enforcement – not only to aid detection rates, but also to support operational efficiency and effectiveness, management reporting and other enterprise-wide tasks. Crime mapping tools that automate basic statistical processing tasks are essential to enable crime analysts to be able to provide critical support in investigations and operations. MapInfo Crime Profiler automates much of the statistical legwork behind crime analysis and visualisation, allowing users to perform sophisticated analyses more quickly and easily through an intuitive dashboard interface. It introduces significant efficiency and capability gains for police forces across all their key areas of crime analysis and visualisation, including: crime pattern analysis; criminal network, market and business profiles; offender risk analysis; intelligence assessments for individual operations; and law enforcement results analysis.
