English county Gloucestershire is deploying business intelligence (BI) solutions from SAS as part of its efforts to reduce crime and the fear of crime, and become one of the most effective opertional forces in the UK. The county is improving the quality of and standardizing its data to comply with the deadline of March 2006 for the Cross Regional Information Sharing Project (CRISP), which mandates that all 43 forces in England and Wales allow other forces access to their data. Vnunet reports:
The BI software from supplier SAS is helping employees to search records and generate error reports, says Reg Barnard, Gloucestershire Constabulary's information services development manager. 'Instead of having a large pile of data that we never looked at, we want to look at it as an asset, and use it to try to gain value for the organisation,' he added.
