Law Enforcement
Law Enforcement Agencies are increasingly under pressure to improve the service which they offer to the public, comply with increasingly complex state and federal legislation, deliver information to government bodies and streamline their operations to reduce costs. With all of these pressures, enabling and maintaining operational focus can be challenging. Memex has extensive experience supporting the Law Enforcement market, and understands these challenges. That’s why we’re committed to delivering software that provides solutions to the specific challenges faced by agencies. All of these challenges occur in an environment where officers and staff are subject to constantly changing priorities and unseen events; this requires that they constantly have an awareness of their workloads and objectives. Furthermore, officers and staff need up-to-date information on events, policies, assessments and targets that affect their operational duties. These problems are significant but not insurmountable; many agencies are developing and implementing highly forward-thinking strategies to meet the challenge.
Law Enforcement agencies are striving to develop a more people-centric approach to intelligence management, ensuring that all officers and staff have a single view of the information held on a given person. This requires a multi-vectored approach to obtaining and sharing information. One of the first steps of this approach is to develop closer links with the community, which not only provides agencies with more information on individuals, but also allows agencies to better identify and prioritize issues which affect their communities, especially the quality of life issues such as low level crime and disorder which have a substantial impact on peoples lives.
The next step is to share information between agencies and their partner agencies. This enables the development of a much broader picture of an individual, enabling agencies to more effectively assign resources, and identify threats. Memex allows officers and analysts to draw links between seemingly unrelated pieces of information that previously would have been impossible. The combination of detailed information and information sharing among agencies allows officers and analysts to predict and prevent threats.
The common denominator in the approach detailed above is the effective management of intelligence. Memex supports this goal, and our solutions enable widespread, standard means for managing, accessing and analyzing information to improve the management of resources, overall decision making, effective measurement of performance and officer safety.
