Into the Rabbit Hole: Making Law Enforcement GIS Proactive
Track: Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice
Authors: Shannon Wade

If there has ever been a thing such as Wonderland it is probably the world of law enforcement GIS. There are silos, secrets and enough data gaps to drive you mad. Through my work with commissioned officers proactive analysis became my white rabbit, the pursuit of which turned islands of data into fluid examples of spatial analytics culminating in a re-imagined web map and interactive dashboard style reports. This paper details which geospatial techniques worked, which didn’t and why.
