Analysis-Led Public Safety (ALPS) is a new model of tech-enabled predictive and proactive crime fighting and emergency response designed to address the transformational need for technology to be a force multiplier, to help 'do more with less'. ALPS provides agencies with predictive allocation of resources to the most important crime and emergency response priorities. Typical capabilities used in ALPS include common operating picture capabilities, analytic dashboards, mining of unstructured text sources, the ability to work with open source (social) data feeds and a robust data flow environment.

CAD is a method of dispatching taxicabs, couriers, field service technicians, or emergency services assisted by computer.

Collaboration between the police and the community that identifies and solves community problems:

-Increased interaction between police and community

-Named and accountable officers that know their areas

-Community helping drive police priorities

-Enhanced decision-making at lower ranks

-Regain police legitimacy

-Perceptions of community safety take over

-Problem solving versus reactive enforcement

-A methodology of crime reduction through managerial accountability.

Crime analysis is a law enforcement function that involves systematic analysis for identifying and analyzing patterns and trends in crime and disorder. Information on patterns can help law enforcement agencies deploy resources in a more effective manner, and assist detectives in identifying and apprehending suspects. Crime analysis also plays a role in devising solutions to crime problems, and formulating crime prevention strategies.

Crime analyst refers to a law enforcement profession dedicated to identification of, analysis of, and solutions to patterns, trends, and problems in crime.

Crime mapping is used by analysts in law enforcement agencies to map, visualize, report on and analyze crime incident patterns.

A business model where data analysis and crime intelligence are pivotal to an objective of crime reduction, disruption and prevention:

-Real-time/Near Real-time data

-Proactive vs. Reactive

-Greater intelligence gathering

-Strategic solutions

-Information sharing and collaboration at local and regional levels

-ILP uses crime intelligence for more effective strategic planning and resource allocation

-Concentration on prolific and persistent offenders

-Better data integration and availability

Intelligence Analysis is the process of taking known information about situations and entities of strategic, operational, or tactical importance, characterizing the known, and, with appropriate statements of probability, the future actions in those situations and by those entities.

NIMS Compliance is a structured framework used nationwide for both governmental and nongovernmental agencies to respond to natural disasters and or terrorist attacks at the local, state, and federal levels of government.

Predictive policing refers to any policing strategy or tactic that develops and uses information and advanced analysis to inform forward-thinking crime prevention.

Proximity-based policing (a form of place-based policing) provides for mobile location-based and incident correlation service applications for mobile computing devices (smart phones, tablets and in-vehicle devices ) for patrol officers in the field. This approach provides proactive policing capabilities that gets critical information to officers in the field, enhances agency efficiency & effectiveness and improves officer safety at low cost. Applications include the ability for officers to view incidents and person information in the field, enter field notes and supervisors can view and follow patrol officer deployments in real time. In addition, proximity-based alerting warns patrol officers of special circumstances or persons-of-interest.

Dealing with problems effectively leveraging increased knowledge if specific problems:

-Crime analysts and officers identify crime problems

-Detailed analysis of problem before determining possible solution

-Seek long term solutions

-Resolution of underlying problem

-Greater decision-making and problem-solving freedoms for officers

-Evaluation of outcome

A RMS is a system which records and manages records for an organization. An RMS contains the following:

-A content analysis that describes and categorizes content in the enterprise that may become records, provides source locations, and describes how the content will move to the records management application.

-A file plan describing, for each type of record in the enterprise, where they should be retained as records, the policies that apply to them, how they need to be retained, how they should be disposed of, and who is responsible for managing them.

-A compliance requirements document defining the rules that the organization's IT systems must adhere to in order to ensure compliance, along with the methods used to ensure the participation of enterprise team members.

-A method for collecting records that are no longer active from all record sources, such as collaboration servers, file servers, and e-mail systems.

-A method for auditing records while they are active.

-A method for capturing records' metadata and audit histories and retaining them.

-A process for holding records (suspending their disposition) when events such as litigations occur.

-A system for monitoring and reporting on the handling of records to ensure that employees are filing, accessing, and managing them according to defined policies and processes.

-Analysis

-Response

Situation awareness involves being aware of what is happening in the vicinity to understand how information, events, and one's own actions will impact goals and objectives, both immediately and in the near future. Situation awareness is especially important in work domains where the information flow can be quite high and poor decisions may lead to serious consequences. In public safety, lacking or inadequate situation awareness is an important factor in officer safety and effectiveness. Situation awareness has been recognized as a critical foundation for successful decision-making across a broad range of complex and dynamic systems, including emergency response and military command and control operations.
