Every moment of every day, some public
sector organization in the nation anguishes over being deprived
of the location intelligence that could have helped them respond
to a crisis minutes or even seconds earlier. Added to that
is a lack of access to and understanding of information stored
in other organizations' databases-information that could enable
safety personnel to prevent or minimize the final impact of
the dangerous situation. With ongoing threats to homeland
security, more organizations are realizing the importance
of fully utilizing location intelligence and spatial analysis
technology, and of sharing that intelligence with others.
TSI has a wealth of experience in the design and development
of public safety solutions that provide—
Crime
Analysis
TSI can design and implement an entire range of crime analysis
capabilities for your organization, whether that means devising
a new solution or extending the capabilities of your current
system. Examples of solutions include:
| • |
Providing the strategic ability
to analyze crime hotspots.
|
|
| • |
Enabling real-time visualization
(with mapping) of multiple layers of information that
is immediately accessible by a police officer on patrol
or emergency personnel via a wireless device.
|
| • |
Exchanging critical spatial
information with allies in government organizations
or the private sector using a web-enabled application.

Vehicle Tracking
Knowing the location of your mobile personnel at any given
moment is important, but it becomes imperative when a manmade
or natural disaster occurs. TSI devises solutions that combine
mapping and cellular technology to provide information on
the location, speed, and direction of selected vehicles, providing
real-time decision support capabilities to supervisors. Private
sector automated vehicle locator (AVL) implementations, particularly
for primary utility providers, are also important. In times
of disaster, all types of vehicles literally become emergency
response vehicles. Your TSI solution can include support for
after-the-fact historical review and analysis of vehicular
movements, enabling organizations to improve their emergency
preparedness.
Homeland
Security
Today, location intelligence and spatial
analysis are being fully recognized as formative and essential
stepping stones for homeland security. Nothing drove that
point home like the terrorist actions that occurred on September
11, 2001. Many affected public and private sector organizations
have looked at these technologies with fresh eyes in the aftermath
of those events, now finding them to be quite essential and
affordable. Once viewed only as providing support for sophisticated
asset management and strategic planning, mapping and spatial
analysis technology is now being considered for its real-time
benefits in smaller and smaller public safety organizations.
Meanwhile, larger organizations are becoming more sophisticated
in their deployments. TSI implements solutions that let these
critical technologies assume their rightful position in providing
improved homeland security, while also improving the day-to-day
effectiveness of safety organizations.
Enhanced 911
TSI can help your organization deploy or extend an E911 solution,
whether that involves the integration of visualization (mapping)
support, or improving your system to incorporate E911 support
for cellular phones.
In-Car Mapping
In-car mapping is an increasingly popular technology for public
safety organizations, simply because it puts needed information
directly in the hands of those who must make the split-second
decisions. TSI can design and integrate an in-car mapping
solution that lets personnel have access to many different
subsets of critical information, using either a laptop or
pocket PC. Mapping support is not restricted to fundamental
geographic detail; it can include real-time information and
results from spatial analysis. Mapping and data support required
can also vary according to role or position. For example,
the range and type of information that a remote supervisor
requires may differ from that needed by a frontline responder
in another vehicle. TSI builds solutions that recognize and
are sensitive to the roles of different types of personnel.
