PRECOBS
Scoring and prediction
PRECOBS - Risk analysis for forward-looking police work
Risiken erkennen und Straftaten verhindern
With PRECOBS, the Pre Crime Observation System, police authorities use crime data from the recent past to create precise forecasts for defined districts. These predictions support operational measures and crime prevention through predictive policing, which monitors crime on a daily basis, analyzes case data and calculates the probability of future crimes.
Advantages and functions
- Targeted deployment control: algorithms calculate where crimes such as burglaries, vehicle offenses, robberies and arsons are likely to occur. This enables police forces to be at the right place in good time.
- Scientifically sound: The software is based on criminological findings and uses algorithms to make precise predictions.
- Already successfully in use: Developed by the Oberhausen Institute for Pattern-based Prediction Technology (IfmPt) and now continued by LogObject Deutschland GmbH, the Zurich City Police was the first authority in Europe to use PRECOBS. This makes PRECOBS a pioneer in the German-speaking world.
Rely on PRECOBS and increase the efficiency of your police work through targeted and forward-looking measures for more security in your region.
Early detection and prevention of serial offenses
With PRECOBS, serial crimes can be predicted with high precision at an early stage and effectively contained. This method of predictive policing was first used in L.A., USA, in 2010. In contrast to conventional police tactics, predictive policing enables risk analysis in both a spatial and temporal context.
Early detection and precision
An algorithm analyzes anonymized burglaries displayed in a matter of seconds for characteristics such as spatial and temporal relationships, property type, perpetrators' approach, means used and loot.
- Early identification of serial offenders: Prevent burglaries and thefts with precise predictions.
- Effective risk analysis: Identifies specific threats in neighborhoods and can stop traveling offenders before they cause further damage.
Pattern recognition and differentiation
The algorithm can distinguish between professional burglaries and occasional crimes. This is crucial because professional offenders often commit many subsequent offenses within a short period of time.
- Differentiation of offenses: Precise identification and differentiation of professional and opportunistic offenses.
- Targeted intervention: Supports the police in intervening in the right place at the right time and minimizing risks.
Rely on PRECOBS to make your police work more efficient and proactive. Take advantage of early detection, precise risk analysis and targeted pattern recognition to make your region safer
Every deed leaves traces. These form a pattern. As an early warning system, PRECOBS offers the opportunity to optimize operational planning in order to stay one step ahead of the perpetrators. PRECOBS helps to use the digital dimensions to optimize our security.
