Why we are different

CDP incorporates dynamic data to provide multifaceted insights and increase the number of successful public safety decisions. Our thoughtful, in-depth analysis is easy for all audiences to visually understand and quickly interpret, allowing for stronger, smarter decisions to be made under pressure.

Basic Public Safety Toolset includes:

Crime Heat Map
Geographically represent the different types of crime across your community with click points to identify exactly which crime occurred in a location. Additionally, this tool has the capability to map and track police presence to see if there is adequate staffing.
Event Planning
As large events (concerts, conventions, fairs, etc.) heavily impact public safety, this feature predicts where individuals will gather for selected events throughout the year, where they are from, and how long they’ll stay.
Weather Layer
Show current and upcoming weather conditions, specified by neighborhood or sub-area, as they impact demand for emergency services.
Emergency Demand Prediction
Predict and prepare for the demand for specific emergency services by neighborhood and by different points in time during the day, week, month, and year.
Emergency Planning
Identify where to efficiently direct appropriate resources during each type of emergency, from mapping where vulnerable populations live to finding ideal locations for shelters or pop-up first aid, food, and water stations. Also map the most efficient routes for full or partial town evacuations.
Public Safety Infrastructure
Identify where current public safety services—hospitals, police and fire departments, clinics— are located, what areas they cover, and where gaps in coverage occur. Determine where and when a new service would most benefit the surrounding community.
Social Media And Public Safety
Analyze social media to measure reaction and public opinion of safety concerns and topics, as well as to help predict and prioritize future crises by using public sentiment and social media to identify the likelihood of an emergency-level event.
Response Time Calculator
Calculate emergency response times based on current traffic and weather conditions to optimize resources and staffing.
Traffic Safety
Map out traffic accidents and visually identify particularly dangerous intersections. Used over time, this tool can also predict where accidents could occur based on mobility data, weather data, and the time of day/week/month/year.
