Police Using Analytics to Track Offenders - PCWorld Business Center

Police Using Analytics to Track Offenders - PCWorld Business Center:

"Two high-profile murders of college students in North Carolina during 2008 have led to the creation of CJLEADS (Criminal Justice Law Enforcement Automated Data Services), an analytics project that aggregates a slew of disparate data stores and is designed to give law enforcement officials a complete picture of a suspect's criminal history and status.

The suspects charged in the deaths of University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill student Eve Carson and Duke graduate student Abhijit Mahato were on probation at the time of the slayings. Officials believe the centralized repository of court, probation and arrest records and other data CJLEADS provides will help law enforcement workers keep closer tabs on offenders, speed investigations and possibly prevent future crimes."
