Detailed Description

In today’s digital age, data is considered to be prime information. Huge data sets can provide immeasurable insights in terms of visualising trends.

In a populous country like India, crime has been one of the major matters of concern. The traditional methods to collect and store data prove to be time-consuming given today’s age and amount of information. Various mediums and methods of storing and retrieving data can save the day for the governing bodies.

There are huge benefits of data visualisation technology to the police force as well as the community. These visualisations help them see trends over the years in no time, and they can see the bigger picture. Without the ability to see the bigger picture, critical information can be missed, which can lead to incorrect or no action at all. This helps them prepare for any suspicious activity or crime. Strategic reports, tactical reports, and visual analytics can be swiftly created and viewed across multiple platforms.

When a single channel of information is layered across other layers such as traffic, geospatial, and weather, it can lead to deeper insights and co-relations between events.
