Crime Predicting Computer Software
Recently, the company PublicEngines released computer software called CommandCentral Predictive that is designed to better detect local crime hot spots for police agencies. The program provides street-based officers with daily reports identifying likely high-crime areas in which to target. CommandCentral Predictive is intended to be an easy program to navigate – no technical expertise is needed; officers and crime analysts alike can use it. The purpose is to take the pressure off of crime analysts so that they no longer need to discuss tactical directions with each and every officer. This tool can substitute their oversight, allowing for analysis in more stringent areas. By using CommandCentral Predictive, law enforcement organizations can more effectively allocate their resources.
