2004 UC Proceedings Abstract
 Real-Time GIS Analysis in Patrol Units Track: Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Author(s): Gary Smith As part of research activities, GIS capabilities are being added to a mobile client system located in patrol cars in order to study the effectiveness of the system to patrol officers. By incorporating these features into the patrol car, the officer will be able to perform immediate GIS analysis tasks in the field that would normally only occur at the station. The mapping system currently includes street centerline, parcel, and aerial imagery layers. The officer in the field can map addresses, view the aerial layout of an area such as the immediate area around an on-going incident and visually select a location or area on the map and retrieve real-time call and/or incident information for that location or area. Real-time information is incorporated through wireless transmission to a server located at the police station which has access to the entire police database.
