Abstract
Using Maps to Track the Incidence of False AlarmsTrack: Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice
Author(s): Edward Chicca, Denise Shaw
Linking GIS capabilities with an automated software system such as CryWolf for the tracking and processing of false alarm calls has resulted in a more efficient use of time and resources and a reduction in false alarms. The Charles County, Maryland, False Alarm Reduction Office, in collaboration with PSC, has served as the initial site for the operation and evaluation of the CryWolf software. Alarm data is imported from computer-aided dispatch and used to send letters and prepare reports. Data and statistics can also be graphically presented on local county maps using MapObjects programming. Additionally, graphs and charts can be prepared and exported to other programs for use in reports to management.
