Case Study: Sonoma County Public Safety Consortium reduces crime and improves resource allocation with Hexagon

Sonoma County Public Safety Consortium Combines Analytics & GIS to Map Crime Trends

The Sonoma County Public Safety Consortium, a group of law enforcement, fire, and EMS agencies in California, needed to enhance its data analysis capabilities to identify crime patterns and better allocate its resources. The consortium turned to Hexagon for a solution that could fuse data from its existing computer-aided dispatch and records management systems to discern spatial patterns and identify emerging hotspots.

Hexagon implemented a solution with powerful analysis tools, including hotspot and temporal mapping, which pulls data directly from the consortium's systems. This enabled crime analysts to create custom reports and maps, leading to improved collaboration and a direct reduction in crimes like auto thefts. The Hexagon solution provided the tools for information-led policing, helping the agencies solve crimes and optimize their resource allocation.
