Knowledge Computing Corp. today announced
the availability of CompStat Analyzer - a powerful crime trend analysis
and performance enhancement solution that integrates seamlessly with the
company's award-winning COPLINK® solution suite. CompStat Analyzer is
the first in a series of innovative new product modules that the company
will release in 2008.
"COPLINK CompStat Analyzer was developed in direct response to our
customers' goals to increase the effectiveness of community-oriented
policing strategies with solid decision support and performance
enhancement tools," said Robert Griffin, CEO of Knowledge Computing
Corp. "With preorders from over a third of our national customers,
CompStat Analyzer is rapidly becoming one of the most popular and
essential modules in the COPLINK solution suite."
CompStat is an abbreviation for computer or comparative statistics. It
is an accountability method first pioneered in New York City in 1994
under the leadership of former New York City Police Commissioner William
Bratton. The concept uses factual data to analyze crimes, where they are
occurring and develop responsive crime fighting strategies that can be
measured for effectiveness based on continuing data analysis. The
methodology has since been widely adopted by law enforcement agencies
nationally.
Unlike internally developed CompStat programs that require hours, days
and months of manual effort to produce results, the COPLINK CompStat
Analyzer instantly automates compiling, comparing, visualizing and
analyzing statistics in real-time. This occurs by taking advantage of
COPLINK's underlying technology, which automatically refreshes updates
from underlying data sources, and through enhanced geographic and visual
display tools. These features enable wider and more in depth analysis of
data points, effective decision support and on-demand response for
deploying resources than is otherwise possible using traditional
CompStat methods. The Los Angeles Police Department, led by CompStat
pioneer Chief William Bratton, is among the first agencies nationwide to
adopt COPLINK CompStat Analyzer.
Mr. Griffin added, "CompStat Analyzer's unprecedented speed of adoption
among our national customer base is testimony to COPLINK's years of
proven performance and reliability." He continued, "With deployments now
active or in progress across nearly 1600 jurisdictions nationwide,
COPLINK leads the industry with the largest national footprint and the
most in depth range of proven tactical lead generation, analytics,
visualization and decision support solutions available in the market."
COPLINK CompStat Analyzer helps law enforcement visually understand the
big picture of criminal activity. It displays what, where, when, and who
is involved in law enforcement response to calls for service and
criminal offenses. It quickly helps line-level officers, supervisors and
command personnel see how an agency, division or officer is responding
over time. With this information, agencies can more effectively deploy
scarce personnel resources to reduce criminal activity. The program's
flexibility also can show activity across the entire jurisdiction or
focus on specific geographical areas. This knowledge enhances
department, unit and individual performance.
CompStat Analyzer's wide variety of GIS-based mapping, graphing,
charting and analytic tools including temporal and spatial analysis
allow data to be sliced and diced myriad ways. Users can also filter
information by location, time, week, day, hour, document type, agency,
division, beat, activity, officer role, vehicle, race, gender, entity
and crime type or any combination thereof.
CompStat Analyzer is accessible either through the COPLINK base program
or separately. This stand-alone operational capability permits access by
persons outside of law enforcement, such as elected officials, planning
department staff, social service agencies and other relevant government
concerns. The separate access shields the underlying incident details;
the viewer sees only the aggregate data, not the individual incidents.
This feature provides law enforcement and community leadership with a
dynamic tool for public presentations on crime trends and performance
while significantly reducing preparation time.
Accurate, timely and easily understood knowledge presented to the public
is a key component in developing strategies for a substantive focus on
crime and disorder. COPLINK's CompStat Analyzer helps further this key
tenet of community-oriented policing.
CompStat Analyzer is available as an add-on module to the COPLINK Base
solution. To learn more about how COPLINK and how CompStat Analyzer can
