Edmonton Police fight crime with business analytics

摘要

Edmonton police services, rnresponsible for more than one million residents in Alberta, is one of the first police forces in Canada to use business analytics software from IBM Corp. for law enforcement. The project began as an effort to "dig down" into police data to provide accountability to the public and public dollars, said John Warden, BI project team lead for Edmonton Police Services. "We spent the first three years of our project getting our data really stable and accurate so we could truly understand the public demand for policing services," he said.
