State Intelligence – Queensland Police
The Queensland Police Service is undergoing a period of renewal
that commenced early 2013
As part of the renewal, Intelligence officers are now grouped
together under a new Command

Brisbane area

Business Problem
Prior to corporate database QPRIME in 2006 – manual geocoding
of crime locations – could conduct custom analysis in MapInfo
Professional however
QPRIME mapping – MapXtreme based solution – unable to
perform high level analysis – lost analytical GIS skills
Implemented solutions unable to integrate other data sources or
perform ad hoc relational queries
Deficit in capability to undertake analysis for one of the services
core strategies – Place & Case Management – and particularly
the ability to readily identify problem places or issues

The Solution
Level 1 MapInfo training – previously in-house but out of date
Crime Profiler – additional analytical functionality
Drivetime – ability to identify common journey routes
Utilise licencing arrangements for corporate installation of
MapInfo Professional

Outcomes and lessons learnt
Business belief that technical solutions able to replace analytical
capabilities of Intelligence officers
Erosion of spatial analytical skills in the Intelligence domain with
access to desktop software stymied and training programs lapsed
Enabled seemingly disparate datasets to be analysed for
relationships, patterns and trends
Intelligence officers limited understanding of the datasets
available and then how to integrate with their analysis –
disadvantage of presenting data automatically

Next steps
Business understanding the need for specialised spatial analytical
capability v ‘fixed’ web based solutions with limited functionality /
understanding of intelligence requirements
Ability to roll out solution to desktop fleet for intelligence officers
Training requirements to bring skill set back into the intelligence
domain
Integration with mobility program to share analytical results to
frontline officers
Predictive policing modelling – right resource in the right place at
the right time for the right reason
