Crime Mapping and Analysis System (CMAS) Concept Note

1. Executive Summary
The level of development in any community depends to a large extent on its state of
security. Criminal activity continues to be a major concern in contemporary society. Most
nations are faced with unacceptable levels of delinquency and crime. This project is
designed for Monitoring and developing Information system which will effectively
manage and monitor the criminal activities and to help the officials to gather data
precisely and quickly for effective management.
GIS based management system and Analytics will helps in visualizing the criminal
activities and accidents in spatial context. This will helps the officials to locate the spots
where the incident happened and also the Integrated GPS and Navigational devices will
properly direct the vehicles to the exact locations in easiest and quickest manner. This
project focuses on real time mapping of crime incidents, identifying hot spots where the
most crime occurs and analyzing the spatial relationships of targets and these hot spots,
Developing real time monitoring and complaint registering system with 24 hours call
center facility.
Real Time Monitoring and Complaint registering system will help the citizens to register
complaints if an incident occurs if then automatic alerts will be passed to the datacenter
where the location details of the victims will be automatically retrieved by the database
and alerts will be passed to the corresponding stations. The incident spots can be
updated at real-time using a handheld GPS based Device, which can be visualized and
analyzed for various decision making process.

This solution, Crime Mapping Analysis System, on a mission "to reduce crime and
make the society- safer by empowering the police officers with the best of the
sophisticated technology down to their usability".

The core application centers on their daily tasks like mapping, patrolling,
responding to citizens demands, investigating crimes, generating desired reports
with GIS Geographic Information Systems are driven Intelligence.

Crime Investigation officers, Officers at Crime Record Bureau, Detective Agencies,

Police officers on Law & Order, Crime analysts, Policy managers and planners use
this system to identify the critical areas / points of crime with spatial analysis.

Dwelt with the principles of Environmental Criminology and GIS and crime
algorithm with the prediction model of Crime- causation and prevention.

Intelligent system Analysis based on the data and factors of sociological

conditions of the society.

2. Proposed Solution - Crime Mapping and Analysis System (CMAS)

Crime mapping and Analysis system is a Geographic Enabled Crime Analysis Solution
with integrated data of First Information Report (Automatic FIR) in preparing a
comprehensive new generation solution for law enforcement. The beneficiary includes
the crime investigational officers at crime record bureau, detective agencies, police
officers on law and order, crime analysts, policy managers and planners used this
system to identify the critical areas/points of crime with spatial analysis

Resided with principles of environmental criminology and GIS with crime analysis
and prediction algorithm on crime cross-section and prevention

This Solution CMAS teams on a mission to reduce crime and make the society
safer by empowering the police officers with the best of the sophisticated
technology, down to their usability, in addition to their safety.

The core application centers on their daily task life mapping, patrolling responding
to the citizens demands, investigating crimes generating desired reports with GIS
are driven intelligence.

The software would also help to identify critical areas/points of crime on the basis
of repeated victimization, recidivism, GIS policing models in order to recognize
and strengthen the intelligence of the operational team to look into the trend and
predict the pattern of crime, modus operandi

3. Significance of the CMAS

To analyze and indicate crime density with respective location and time

Circuit to crime indicating the journey from first point to last point, identify the
places to network surveillance of the camera, policing etc.

To help in implementation of various methods to reduce overall crime and

disorder

Crime Mapping and Analysis System (CMAS) Concept Note

To plan in advance for picketing, arrangement, suspicious incidents, events the

required vigilance, monitoring and investigation

Automatic generation of reports on all types and filters of data

To help and educate the public with visualized informative maps to clarify the
crime concerns and enlist community policing options

To address the Multiple dimensions of an issue like riots, agitations and as well as
property crimes with study of patterns and trends in law and order horizons

To further provide tool and proficiency to get crime series and forecast future
crime occurrences

In post crime investigations Preventions, protection and detection addressal with

the relevant data associated with crime maps

4. Spatial Intelligence of CMAS

To Provide a spatial intelligences of the offenses (Spots), Victims, offenders to

help the route cause analysis with relational data

To help connect filtered and relevant data on operations of planning, track

execution, post operation analysis and pattern analysis

Greatly helpful in devising and organizing the beats in bandobust, agitations, riots

Automatic compilation of crime charts, monthly crime reports, crime review

reports

Effective addressal of repeated cases like rape, theft, robberies and help victims

To improve and helps in challenges of critical decision making in crisis, addressal

of citizens and officers safety

Evaluate and analyze jurisdiction and station team

Track and study the call of services (Emergency call 100 dial) in building safer
nation

5. Solution Features & Advantages

Complete control to the end user by allowing him to configure and manage the following:

Define custom Policing Types

Define the spatial entities that are targeted for each Policing type

Define Inspectors and their service areas with rules and checklists for inspections

Define approval workflows, alerts and fines Management

Based on the rules defined by the managers the system manages schedules
automatically but also gives the users complete authority to override system defaults. To
assist the managers make such decisions our product CMAS offers:

An intelligent map, spatial search tools to find crime spots, hotspots, inspectors

Track records and history of inspections with locations and Live tracking

Playback option to see locations on any given day in the past

Public complaints information

Inspector reports and messages to managers

Reports and charts showing distribution of inspections

CMAS Client has the following features,

The PDA client can receive daily/weekly inspection tasks assigned for Police.

The PDA application will generate custom forms based on the checklists defined
by the police on the fly.

The inspection reports along with photos or any attachments can be sent to the
managers either instantly or in case of unavailability of a network connection,
they can save reports on the device and come to office and transfer or
synchronize reports and collect inspection tasks.

It gives access to all of the spatial data. This and the integrated navigation
system helps the inspectors find locations with ease.

CMAS will be integrated with inbuilt GPS receiver, allowing Police to find their
current location and allows the managers at office track the Police.

The field Police will have access to data like inspection history, crime history,
Traffic reports, manager notifications etc available through web services.

7. Conclusion
Crime analysis using GIS is relevant, as the rate of crimes is very much on the rise.
Since crimes have situational relevance, and hence have a positional element attached
to them, GIS can be a very useful tool to display and apply spatial analysis to data,
which reside in large databases, in order to obtain a strong visual appreciation of the
patterns of crimes. Given the right atmosphere and cooperation from all relevant
authorities, GIS can be used to map and analyze crime occurrences with a view to
determining factors leading to such crimes and how they can be effectively managed.
With GIS, the police and other law enforcement agents could produce maps showing the
scene of crimes and the route(s) leading to scene areas by performing simple queries.
The queries can also be performed to display the shortest route to the scene of the crime
from the police station in the event of an emergency. The analysis carried out using dot
density map could be used to forecast and map out strategies for combating crime.
