North Yorkshire Police is to install a newperformance and information management systemto enable intelligence-led policing and to save
money.
The new solution will be designed to improve the quality,
timeliness and accuracy of the information stored, and to provide
decision makers with fast and secure access to the information they
need, when they need it, said the suppliers,
Atos Origin and
SAS.
Under the contract, Atos Origin will lead the implementation of
the new solution with business intelligence software from SAS being
used to solve the data integration and data quality issues.
With the solution, North Yorkshire Police expects to increase
crime detection and officer efficiency, using improved
predictive analysis of crimes and more effective officer
deployment.
It also predicts a saving of £9.7m over five years through
additional efficiency and productivity gains.
"This is a low risk and seamless solution," said force
superintendent Lewis Raw, who is project director for the
deployment.
"We were able to re-use routines and mappings that had been
developed for South Wales Police, which provided cost and timescale
advantages," he said.
