Better detection
Originally developed with engagement from the Home Office, xd brings together a whole range of data on incidents, crime, operational resources and more, presenting visual pictures and patterns of your day to day policing challenges.
You can monitor performance against national and local targets and combine external information, such as demographic profile data, with your own to identify the areas of highest risk and take more effective action.
Shared analysis
xd’s menu-driven interface gets people up to speed fast and enables analysts in multiple departments to work as a single team. Data and analyses can be shared both within your force and with other agencies, enabling the most appropriate response to both strategic and tactical issues.
Quick connections
xd is part of our Universe GIS platform so all data works across the components, enabling quick sharing of operational GIS information through the web client xWeb and the Control Room application, xc. Third party data from other sources and systems can be easily imported to add value and context to analytical studies.
