Case Study: Scottish Fire and Rescue Service identifies community safety risks with CACI data insights

Scottish Fire and Rescue Service identifies 450,000 household incidents with CACI Limited

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) faced the challenge of identifying evolving community safety risks across Scotland. To better manage these risks and organize resources, SFRS needed detailed demographic insight that went beyond high-level data. CACI addressed this challenge by providing its Acorn and Household Acorn consumer segmentation data to help SFRS build a forward-looking demographic model.

CACI's solution enabled SFRS to combine Acorn's granular household data with its own incident records in a geodatabase for advanced analysis. This allowed SFRS to create risk metrics for every data zone in Scotland, revealing hidden community vulnerabilities and enabling highly targeted prevention and response planning. As a result, CACI helped SFRS move from a reactive to a predictive service, improving its ability to protect the most vulnerable people in society.
