Abstract
Real-Time Moving Map Displays Assist Police Helicopter Dispatch
Track: Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice
Author(s): Dianne Haley
The Calgary Police Service has used a helicopter for a number of years to assist in the apprehension of offenders and other public safety activities. Part of the instrumentation of the helicopter included a personal computer. The City of Calgary GIS Centre of Excellence used MapObjects, shapefiles, and GPS to provide an application to be used by the flight crew to locate, in real time, a target address relative to the position of the helicopter. This presentation will discuss the development and use of this application and will demonstrate the results.
