HunchLab is a web-based geographic crime spike detection and early warning system.
For police departments and public safety agencies, proactive and effective tactical deployment requires accurate and timely crime pattern analysis. HunchLab is an automated geographic data-mining application. On a schedule set by administrative personnel, it sifts through large volumes of data to identify statistically significant changes in crime patterns over time, then automatically alerts appropriate staff members to enable preemptive actions and more effective deployment decisions.
Criminal activity is a dynamic phenomenon. Patterns shift and change daily in response to changes in target behavior, police intervention, business activity, and other factors. HunchLab enables departments to identify, visualize, and examine suspicious activities and focus patrol efforts in the right places proactively.
