Case Study: York Regional Police achieves rapid data-driven policing and improved officer wellness with Information Builders' Law Enforcement Analytics

York Regional Police Uses WebFOCUS to Improve Officer Intelligence, Health, and Efficiency

Information Builders partnered with York Regional Police (YRP) to address the force’s fragmented data landscape—many years of critical information lived in disparate systems (dispatch, records, ERP, spreadsheets and paper reports), forcing staff to manually aggregate and deconflict data to support strategic planning, operational analysis, performance management and officer well‑being.

Information Builders implemented a consolidated data warehouse and its Law Enforcement Analytics suite (WebFOCUS, Magnify, iWay and professional services), delivering searchable, linked structured and unstructured data plus self‑service dashboards for the Real‑Time Operations Center and commanders. The result was dramatic time savings (answers that once took weeks now appear in seconds), evidence‑based resource deployment, improved crime‑prevention and officer wellness monitoring, and new cost‑of‑policing insights that delivered a rapid return on investment.
