Case Study: Avon and Somerset Police improves address accuracy and response times with Idox Address Data Solutions

Avon and Somerset Police Accurate addresses – defining location for increased efficiency

Avon and Somerset Police needed a reliable way to pinpoint accurate locations across a wide range of police work, from property addresses and roads to alleyways and other unrecorded places. To improve consistency and efficiency, the force worked with Idox and its Aligned Assets AddressBase Premium gazetteer to support authoritative address data with UPRNs and USRNs.

Idox implemented a local gazetteer approach that lets Avon and Somerset Police create and reconcile missing locations with locally allocated UPRNs, reducing duplication and improving precision. The result has been faster incident response, better record keeping, improved staff efficiency and time savings, while also helping the force share location intelligence and collaborate more effectively with other agencies.
