Alliance provides an active graphical mapping tool that is able to display geographical (address) data on screen. In dispatch, the location of the caller, the incident, and the position of all officers will be displayed for ease of visual location. Detectives will use mapping to analyze crime data grouped by MO, event type, date and/or time of occurrence. Events can be color coded by type, date or other criteria and displayed graphically superimposed on a map. Any member of the department may plot crime data, MO matches, UCR stats, and CAD incidents visually on a map. Maps may be printed out and displayed for city council members or citizen’s groups to show the current state of crime in the city or county region. Satellite photographs may also be input and displayed to show locations of power lines, trees, and points of access.
