AbstractArcGIS Server to Map Maryland Parole and Probation DataTrack: Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Author The Washington College GIS Program was awarded a grant from the Maryland Governor's Office of Crime Control and Prevention to assist the Division of Parole and Probation in a statewide effort to build a web-based GIS application to search, retrieve, analyze, map and report on individuals currently serving parole or probation. The grant award aligns with Governor O'Malley's emphasis on reducing crime by improving monitoring of violent repeat offenders. This presentation will be of interest to anyone involved in law enforcement and criminology who wants to learn how GIS can be applied to monitoring individuals serving parole and probation. Presentation topics will include the rationale for developing the web-based GIS application, an overview of the application architecture, data maintenance considerations, and plans for extending the application's user community and capabilities. A live demonstration of key features will also be included during the presentation.
