Assisted with the design and implementation of two Internet crime mapping applications and assisted with automating data management and generation of crime incident data. For the project GeoNorth developed an ArcView application that would perform the necessary geocoding of crime incident data from the Department’s Visionair RMS. Once completed, the application would prepare the necessary spatial and tabular data for the internet mapping applications. Additionally the application generated a crime incident intensity layer used to show concentration of crime occurring within a ¼ mile grid cell. This entire data process was automated using SQL Server DTS and is executed 3 times a day at the end of each shift.

GeoNorth also developed an ArcIMS public web site where citizens can query for an address, select a crime category, and search distance to retrieve a map and list crimes. The application was develop with JSP and uses the ArcIMS Query and GeoCoding Services. GeoNorth installed MapOptix™ with configuration and customization services. MapOptix™ is used for internal crime mapping and analysis. MapOptix™ offers more advanced query capabilities and reporting tools.

GeoNorth is currently preparing to assist the Police Department with implementing ArcSDE and augment current data management applications to improve data quality and accuracy.
