class=\"s1\">Even though we have faster computers and more information than ever, you would think that law enforcement agencies would have more speed and success at reducing crime.\u00a0 Unfortunately, this is not the case in many U.S. cities as crime and threats continue to climb.\u00a0 Some reasons are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s2\">Increasing numbers of text, photo, and video data bases that are <b>not integrated with a common search feature<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s2\">Poor search engines that <b>can\u2019t search inside pdf documents or text narratives<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><b><\/b><span class=\"s2\"><b>Lack a comprehensive system for communicating, tracking, reporting, or assessing crime reduction efforts. <\/b>Most<b> <\/b>LE agencies only have systems for<b> <\/b>calls for service,<b> <\/b>reporting crimes, and case management<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><b><\/b><span class=\"s2\"><b>No system for multi-jurisdictional collaboration<\/b> and sharing of crime data.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">To reduce crime in today\u2019s environment of exponential increases in text, photo, and video data as well as increased population to officer ratios, it requires speed to search and access data, speed in providing direction to patrol on where crimes are happening, and ease of assessing activity and results.\u00a0 Without speed, crime patterns are not addressed early enough to disrupt or stop the patterns and crime continues to rise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong><span class=\"s1\">The Technology Solution<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Only invest in technology that has the capability to solve 2 or more of the challenges listed above so you can add more speed into your agency.\u00a0 No longer can you or your agency get a return on investment of buying another software program that operates in a silo and only solves 1 problem.\u00a0 We must kill more than one bird with a stone and acquire software you can continue to grow into.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s2\">If you are trying to align and direct patrol with real-time information and intelligence for improved crime reduction, you may want to check out the new features of the SmartForce\u2122 Agency Management System from Adventos.\u00a0 SmartForce\u2122 provides a force-multiplier system for communicating, tracking, reporting, and assessing crime reduction efforts that can also share crime data with neighboring LE agencies.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NZLrVMODb-s\" target=\"_blank\"><span
