Case Study: Western Australia Police Force achieves faster connected intelligence and crime analysis with GraphAware Hume

Transforming Policing in Western Australia

The Western Australia Police Force faced the challenge of having its valuable crime-fighting data trapped in numerous disconnected silos. This made it extremely time-consuming and manual for analysts and officers to uncover hidden connections between entities and events, hindering their ability to solve increasingly complex crimes. They turned to GraphAware and its Hume platform to address this critical issue.

GraphAware implemented its Hume solution, powered by Neo4j, to create a unified intelligence platform called IRIS. This provided a single view of data across all sources, automating analysis and rapidly revealing hidden linkages. The result was a dramatic acceleration in investigations; queries that once took hours were completed instantly. The solution was deployed to over 2,000 users, significantly enhancing the force's efficiency in tackling high-volume crime and better serving the community.
