JUSTIFICATION:
The police department is seeking to purchase CrimeView Enterprise Software, an upgrade to the
existing Crime View Web application currently used in conjunction with ESRI's Geographical
Information System (GIS) suite of applications. These products provide the department's
personnel with the ability to run ad hoc custom crime reporting maps and analysis reports at any
time and are used extensively in the police department's COMPSTAT meeting preparation and
eliminate countless hours of manually creating custom maps. It provides the command staff with
a timely overview of recent events in the form of reports, maps and charts so that they can
quickly assess any situation for planning purposes in order to be truly focused on Community
Policing and Problem Solving.
HOW IS THIS ITEM GOING TO ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF SERVICE TO THE
CUSTOMER / CITIZENS?
This system will allow the police department to integrate with the City's Information ..
Technology Department (ITD) in order for ITD to continue to be able to support the police
department's map layers and custom police boundary layers. This resource will be available via
the web and could provide a wealth of information for crime prevention and crime fighting
strategies. Decision makers will be able to work smarter by targeting specific crime areas of "hot
spots" in almost real-time without having to rely on limited resources provided by the
department's crime analysts.
