Report
Summary
This contract will provide two software applications for legal investigative research for the Phoenix Police Department (PPD). The two applications include Accurint LE and Accurint Crime Analysis.
The Accurint LE application allows PPD personnel to locate suspects, persons of interest and potential crime witnesses. Accurint LE will also provide the capabilities of locating individuals, discovering associations, visualizing complex relationships, investigating businesses and uncovering assets. The Accurint Crime Analysis application provides a secure online dashboard with a public-facing component that enables crime data sharing, pattern analysis, and crime mapping. Accurint Crime Analysis receives data from multiple established interfaces and is updated upon the finalization of each crime report. This ability to combine data from various sources into a seamless, standardized data set allows PPD personnel to view, analyze, and share data with other law enforcement agencies.
The combined capabilities of these applications are critical to PPD's operations as they allow personnel to solve open cases faster and they reduce the volume of public records requests received for neighborhood crime statistics. This ensures that staff have more time to work on high-priority case work and that costs associated with lengthy investigations are minimized. The extension of this contract and additional funds are necessary to maintain access to these vital applications.
This item has been reviewed and approved by the Information Technology Services Department.
