Law enforcement agencies are faced with the significant challenge of making sense of mountains of crime data. FirstWatch, headquartered in Encinitas, Calif., helps the Oceanside Police Department by turning this raw data into valuable, actionable information available to their law enforcement teams and other authorized stakeholder groups in real time.
"FirstWatch significantly expedites the process. Departments using FirstWatch can look at and act on data, essentially in real-time, and can map trends and set up alerts based on crime category or location."
