Introduction
The C3 AI Law Enforcement application combines multiple data sources into a single, unified data model to allow law enforcement officials to view, analyze, and organize crime data from multiple systems in a single location.
Traditionally, a law enforcement officer must follow the following process when collecting and analysing data from existing systems:
- Search: The officer must search through multiple sources such as Records Management Systems (RMS), License Plate Reader (LPR) systems, dispatch records, and jail records to build a complete picture of a situation. Manually parsing and filtering data to find the relevant information is a lengthy and tedious task.
- Connect: The officer must draw connections between the data found during the search. Identifying associations between events, vehicles, cases, and individuals is a time consuming task and depends greatly on the officers involved and time available.
- Act: Based off the connections and conclusions developed in the previous step, the officer may now act on the information. For example, the officer may perform an arrest, or post a bulletin to other law enforcement agencies.
This process is shown in the following diagram:
With the C3 AI Law Enforcement application, the system performs the data collection and connection steps automatically. Officers can search multiple systems from within a single applicationo generate a complete picture using all available data. This allows officers to spend less time searching and collecting data, and more time acting on information.
