workware systems situational awareness & predictive policing overview
DESCRIPTION
Front line and community-based Policing is a high knowledge-based activity. Exploiting organisational knowledge in dynamic front line policing activity key to improving productivity. Productivity and effectiveness can be improved by pushing information to front line officers which is: - Relevant to their role - Relevant to their location - Relevant in time Our solutions Help Patrol Officers understand their environment and take action. We do this without significant cost and complexity.TRANSCRIPT

A Comparative Perspective
2
1960s: Random Patrol, Rapid Response,Reactive Investigation. Enabled through
reliable, low-cost, two-way radio
1980’s Neighbourhood &Community Policing
Emphasis on underlyingcauses of crime
2000’s Intelligence-led PolicingAdoption of the UK National
Intelligence Model
2013+ Proactive PolicingEnabled through technology and an iterative
approach to learning and adaptive action.Fiscal Austerity means policing needs to be
more productive and more effective
Policing Models Systems Support
Paper based recording, card indexes,local knowledge key to policing
The rise of the desk-basedintegrated system – the RMS
Silo systems only supporting specific business process; e.g. crime reporting
Mobile data capture, connected officer,federated search from mobile devices.Geo-spatial and context awareness.Intelligent Information Push.

Current Position
• Police Forces are information rich butaccess is selective and on demand, with no intelligent push of relevant information whilst on officers are on patrol
– multiple systems storing data for retrieval and analysis
• Greater efficiency in managing police data
– the golden nominal, reuse across business processes, etc.
• Mobile data capture widespread
– mainly through point apps designed for specific business process
• Widespread use of mobile devices, BlackBerry and ToughBooks, for federated search of systems
Awareness of need to move forward
– austerity policing challenges continue

Limitations of Current Position
Large, static systems built for desktop
Good for supporting information “pull”
Good for developing support for out-of-office data capture – either by point apps or desktop mobilisation
Good for providing rich sources of data for desk based analysis
Not built for mobile from the ground up
Not designed for data “push” to front line
Not designed for front line analytics

What is the Challenge?• Front Line and Community Policing, is a
high knowledge-based activity
• Exploiting organisational knowledge in dynamic operational policing activity is key to improving officer productivity
• New technology needs to connect real-time analysis, information-led policing, and best policing practices to the officer on patrol
• Productivity and effectiveness can be improved by pushing information to front line officers which is:
– Relevant to their role
– Relevant to their location
– Relevant in time
• Helps them to understand their environment and take action
• Deploy without complexity
• Deliver without significant cost

Who Can We Learn From?

Strong technology High analytical capability
Challenged HUMINTcollection environment
Intelligence Agencies Commerce
Works hard to understand data and predict demand

What Can We Exploit?
• Web 2.0 technology
– dynamic, adaptive, open services and standards, manage huge amounts of data
• Explosion of affordable Mobile Devices
• Increasing ubiquity and capability of wireless networks
– public and private, 3G, 4G, etc.
• Cloud services
– cheap, easy to access,reduced internal support costs
• Big Data
– generated by new, connected“things” and content

A Moment of Reflection
• Patrol Officers need better access to knowledge
• Austerity challenge pushing forces to achieve greater productivity and effectiveness
• Police mobility still very limited – “pull” information and data capture driven
• Front line is high knowledge-based activity
• Challenge is to exploit new technologies and understanding of what works elsewhere to deliver new capability to policing

And a Question:
If you believe in the notion of “the right information, to the right person, at the right time”
Then the question is…
If the only way of getting information is by “pulling” it from systems…
How are we expected to know what the right information is at the right time?

Response Policing perspective pushes real time and relevant information to the officers while they respond to a specific incident. Real time collaboration with other officers and interrogation of all data sources put maximum information awareness in the hands of officers as they respond to incidents

Proactive and Predictive policing can play a major role in making officers more effective (“sweating the assets”, so to speak). Effective use of all police and non-police information, coupled with a robust analytical capability, can offer operational police officers cogent tools

So Imagine This…
Envision a PC walking along a busy street, notification is pushed to her that a warrant is outstanding at the red brick house on the corner. The adjacent block of flats has a known violent offender and a recent domestic abuse victim. At the house on the opposite side of the road lives a vulnerable repeat victim of crime.
Local crime hot spots are displayed on her device and predictive analysis guides her through historical incidents and statistically plausible future events. With a single tap, she can open a map, search for persons of interest, drill down on incidents, and add to a shared community knowledge base.
Later that morning, she scans a detained person’s face and the suspect’s previous encounters and sketchy relationships are shown on an easy to understand link diagram.
In addition to the geospatial and contextual dimensions of the PC’s job, there are notifications and reminders of her unfinished cases and tasks. Her in progress cases can be quickly recalled or assigned to other colleagues.
The entire PC’s shift becomes an intelligent collection of activities and knowledge that are captured, stored, indexed, and made available to the rest of the policing community.
THIS CAN BE DELIVERED NOW – IT CAN TRANSFORM POLICING

RMS Structured Data,Command and Control,Forensics, Data Warehouse, etc.
WorkwareOneCommon Resilient
Data Repository
UnstructuredData from aHuge Varietyof Data Sources,Made Searchable
Proactive Policing Perspectiveutilises data from a variety of sources, not only RMS and CAD
Typically, community knowledge,criminal intelligence, PND, commercial databases, etc.
Unstructured and structured data become searchable and actionable
Data are “flattened”and all objects aremade searchableand associated viaPOLE link analysis
Predictive analysismodel made simpleand actionable

• Platform resident tools include:
– Link analysis
– Geospatial mapping and analysis
– Discriminate analysis
– Anomaly detection
– Non-obvious relationship analysis
– Search and association
– Text mining
– Learning algorithms
– Neural networks
• We seek to make operational officers more efficient through faster access to knowledge, better resource allocation through prediction, and real time feedback based on officer location, activity and response outcomes
