Abstract

Actionable Spatial Intel with Next-gen Risk Terrain Modeling & ArcGIS
Track: Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice
Authors: Leslie Kennedy, Joel Caplan

Safety and security specialists need to make reliable place-based forecasts to inform strategic and tactical decisions. Risk terrain modeling (RTM), a spatial diagnostic method developed at Rutgers, supports these efforts. GIS & data about physical landscapes are key components of RTM. With free next-gen RTM tools, you’ll learn how ArcGIS can identify, prioritize, & communicate risky places for crime or other threats. This enables mitigation actions to be taken in objective & defensible ways.
