ShotSpotter is a predictive policing technology that can detect the location of a gunshot. Now it's being rapidly adopted by police departments across the U.S. to help curb gun-related violence ...
The development of new laws on how artificial intelligence (AI) is used in the police force has been recommended in an independent report. The use of emerging technology, such as facial ...
Predictive policing is the usage of mathematics, predictive analytics, and other analytical techniques in law enforcement to identify potential criminal activity. [1] [2] [3] A report published by the RAND Corporation identified four general categories predictive policing methods fall into: methods for predicting crimes, methods for predicting offenders, methods for predicting perpetrators ...
Predictive policing uses data on the times, locations and nature of past crimes, to provide insight to police strategists concerning where, and at what times, police patrols should patrol, or maintain a presence, in order to make the best use of resources or to have the greatest chance of deterring or preventing future crimes.
PredpPol is one of a slate of predictive policing technologies—another, called Hunchlab, was acquired by Shotspotter, and IBM, Microsoft, and Palantir have developed their own tools, as have ...
Predictive techniques in policing are not new, as search warrants are a pre-existing example of authorities acting on the basis of suspicion and prediction in contemporary communities [20] In the context of smart cities, predictive policing is the use of data analytics to determine potential locations of future crime. [20]
But while arguably the most in-your-face example of how law enforcement agencies are tapping AI technology for policing, the K5 is just the tip of a much more discrete iceberg.
Machine learning is a tremendous tool for predictive policing. If patterns are identified the police can immediately try to stop them. Without such tools it can take weeks and even years of shifting though databases to discover a pattern. Series Finder provides an important data-driven approach to a very difficult problem in predictive policing.
