Description of PredPol

PredPol uses a machine-learning algorithm to calculate its predictions. Historical event datasets are used to train the algorithm for each new city (ideally 2 to 5 years of data). PredPol then updates the algorithm each day with new events as they are received from the department. This information comes from the agency's records management system (RMS).

User friendly tool for managing current & forecasted incidents

I like that it is able to predict crime patterns within certain parameters, which helps me make decisions about how my officers should be deployed in areas where we have not yet had any police activity or reported crimes. It also has an easy interface so anyone can use it without having specialized training; however some people may find that there isn't enough detail available when predicting future locations at street level resolution. If you're looking into predictive policing software this…

Pros
  • This product works really hard across numerous data sets including social media posts (twitter etc) along with public records information too.
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Great for identifying potential locations for crime

The ability to have historical crime statistics that can be utilized not only by police but also other decision makers in the organization, like risk managers or business owners who need to evaluate their own businesses relative risks. Also able to pull up maps showing areas where past crimes were most prevalent which helps when considering locations/mapping for future developments. It is very difficult to get this type of software at an affordable price point. I would recommend looking into…

Pros
  • Allows one easily see trends over weeks / months
  • Ability run heat map analysis (not really used with much success)
  • Can track location history per individuals+ multiple users
Cons
  • Not the best

A great tool for improving your Safety Performance

It gives me results that I can actually use! This is one of the most useful tools in our organization. The results are pretty accurate, which is what we need. We've been able to get some really good results from PredPol. It has improved my overall safety performance by giving me more options than I had before. I wish that there were more places that could be added to this program so that it would reach more employees. In general, PredPol has helped us find areas where we can improve. We have…
