Predictive Policing:  Why Just Count Crime When You Can Prevent It?

Why just count crime when you can anticipate, prevent and respond more effectively?  The Predictive Policing Model enables public safety and security executive staff to leverage predictive analytics in support of meaningful, information based tactics, strategy and policy decisions in the applied public safety and security environment.  As the public safety and national security communities increasingly are asked to do more with less, the Predictive Policing Model represents an opportunity to prevent crime and respond more effectively, while optimizing increasingly scarce or limited resources, including personnel.

The Predictive Policing Model leverages predictive analytics to enable information based approaches to public safety and security tactics, strategy and policy.  Predictive analytics tools, techniques and processes support meaningful exploitation of public safety and security data necessary to turn data into knowledge and guide information based prevention, thwarting, mitigation and response.

The ability to identify and characterize threats, and anticipate crime represents a game changing paradigm shift in operational public safety and security.  A fluid, agile force with the ability to use intelligence to guide information based operations can penetrate their adversary’s decision cycle – drug dealer, gang member, counterfeiter, thief or terrorist – affording unique opportunities for prevention, thwarting and information based response.  Ideally, we will be able to prevent crime.  At a minimum, being able to mount information based responses in support of consequence management can significantly mitigate those incidents that do occur; ultimately, changing outcomes for those we serve.

New praise for Predictive Policing: An Ounce of Prevention, by Captain Eric Mills, Pasadena Police Department.

The MC2 Solutions team pioneered the use of predictive analytics in the applied public safety and security environment.  Our unique approach integrates predictive analytics with behavioral analysis and operational tradecraft in support of operationally relevant and actionable analysis.  The award winning MC2 Solutions brings more science and less fiction to public safety research, analysis and training.  Our analytic process model and methods have been validated and vetted.
