Esri's GIS mapping software supplies reliable information where and when you need it most. Know who and what are at risk. See where demand is changing, understand it better and manage it differently. Execute a smarter strategy across services and agencies —all through the power of visualising, analysing, and acting on data through the lens of location.
Share geographic information visually and in a meaningful, easily understood way - on live deployments and historic crimes with officers (and other agencies) - through powerful and easy to use applications.
Understand the nature of demand as well as providing internal and external visibility of the way resources are managed.
Provide real-time data feeds with our next-generation location platform. This includes live traffic, resource location and status, aerial photography and much more to enable capability in this area.
Fuse multi-source intelligence (such as incident data, police resources, weather information, flooding overlays and partner data) into a single view, and share that view with control room staff, command teams and front-line officers.
Visualise and analyse big data in a way that reveals patterns, trends, and relationships that reports will not show.

Reducing harmful crime with targeted policing
Amidst a shocking rise in knife crime and other harmful offences in the UK, one police force is using ArcGIS to help it implement more targeted neighbourhood policing. West Midlands Police now has a detailed understanding of harm hotspots and is using this intelligence to seize more weapons from the streets, reduce crime numbers and better protect citizens.

Crimestoppers boosts information responsiveness with ArcGIS Dashboards
The charity Crimestoppers works closely with police forces and Police and Crime Commissioners across the UK to share and evaluate information about crimes reported anonymously by the public. Its National and Regional Managers now have access to a self-service portal powered by ArcGIS Dashboards, allowing them to more efficiently report on and review local crime trends, supporting their ongoing engagements with PCCs and police forces.

Preventing harmful crime through evidence-based policing
At a time when police resources are stretched to the limit in the UK, City of London Police has used ArcGIS to implement a new, evidence-based approach to urban policing. The force is now operating more strategically, increasing its arrests and preventing harmful crimes at the heart of London’s financial centre.
