Crime Analysis

Data Mining for Law Enforcement

DataDetective plays a key role in the information supply chain for a growing number of police forces in the Netherlands. After a short training session, police officers can easily discover patterns and trends, make forecasts, find relationships and possible explanations, map criminal networks and identify possible suspects. The unique data mining technology of DataDetective is applied to a large analysis database (data warehouse) containing data from various police systems and external sources, such as weather data, sociodemographics and maps.
