US police chief leads way on new software

As some of you may know, I’m a big crime buff and I love seeing GIS used to aid law enforcement. I watch cop dramas on television and hope to see a glimpse of GIS used to help solve a big caper.

Police in Edinburgh have received some help from Jim Bueermann, the chief of Redlands Police in California to look at how GIS can be used to find crime hotspots. This will help Edinburgh police focus resources on this area.

I’ve contacted my local police department and I’m hoping to gain further insights on how GIS is used in policing. Watch this blog for further updates of my personal quest!
