York Regional Police (YRP) Business Intelligence (BI) Initiative
launched: 2015 | status: implemented
Solution Summary
The York Regional Police Business Intelligence initiative was established to harness the YRPs data flow and turn it into useful intelligence.
Key Benefits
Problem
The York Regional Police lacked the capacities to analyze and integrate the big amounts of data it receives [Weblink 1].
Aim
The initiative aims at improving the resource deployment and management efficiencies, leveraging data to improve investigations, employing predictive analytics to prevent crime, supporting officer wellness, and better understanding the economics of policing [1].
Approach
The information collected by YRP is forwarded to a Real Time Operations Centre (ROTC) via the open data sets of the York region, the Environics data sets (i. e. residential areas, demographic data) and external feeds (e. g. traffic cameras, weather and traffic conditions, Google Street View).
This enables full coverage of the York region, which is organized in several separate data levels. With the help of proprietary third-party applications, this information is used to create real-time dashboards that provide efficient access to the data-rich information needed to effectively provide resources for an incident or perform advanced crime analysis.
This initiative provides a precise overview of the time spent on different tasks (e. g. municipal police, traffic police, crime investigation, administrative work), which allows for improved budgeting and the use of resources [1].
