New technology to help Charlottesville police track local crime
New technology is helping the Charlottesville Police Department track and analyze local crime.
The software, to be used in regional collaboration with other law-enforcement agencies, will help the department detect crime patterns and more efficiently deploy resources, officials said.
Eventually, the technology could allow residents to access select crime data online, according to Police Chief Timothy J. Longo.
The software was purchased using $57,000 in grants from the state of Virginia and the Charlottesville Police Department Foundation, an independent group of residents formed to help the department achieve its goals.
“This software and hardware package is exciting because it allows the department to capture and analyze data in ways that have so far been beyond our reach,” Longo said in a statement. “It will help us track and fight crime more effectively and help us keep the community up to date in new ways.”
