Track: Smart Communities
Authors: Alice Pence

City of Auburn needed to spatialize tabular crime data for display in a web map & open data portal. We used ArcGIS SDE & FME to achieve our goal, creating an automated process that nightly gathers data from a proprietary Linux system, geolocates the data based on addresses, performs QA/QC process, formats the output for the destination & provides notifications to stakeholders. Attendees will learn how we enabled faster crime reporting & analysis, delivering on their open government objectives.
