City Jim Haggerton, Mayor
:90 INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
Finance and Safety Committee
FROM: Trina Cook, Police Information Analyst
DATE: March 1, 2011
SUBJECT: Public Crime Information Sharing Website
ISSUE
The Tukwila Police Department would like to provide case report information to the public using
the internet.
BACKGROUND
Several years ago, we were tasked with providing police calls for service information on the
Internet. We secured funding and selected a vendor that would provide extensive crime analysis
tools to the department as well as a public facing system. However, Valley Communications
was unable to partner with us on that project, as they were working on upgrading the dispatch
system (which is not yet implemented). We need their participation in order to connect to the
calls for service data.
DISCUSSION
At this time, we are tasked with providing any sort of crime information on the Internet. The
information available to us that is most timely is case report information. The data connection
will be handled internally, with a one -time initial set -up handled by our IT Department and Police
Department staff. Three vendors that provide case report data to the public were selected for
comparison. None of these low -cost options offers analytical tools beyond what is also available
to the public.
Original funding for this project covered a one -time software purchase, however these products
are covered with an annually -paid monthly service fee.
RECOMMENDATION
The Finance and Safety Committee is being asked to review the options and provide input on
the vendors presented.

REGIONAL ANALYSIS 8. INFORMATION DATA SNARING
Regional Analysis Information Data Sharing
RAIDS was developed as a free community policing service for law enforcement. RAIDS helps law enforcement
provide useful, up -to -date crime information and alerts to the public.
RAIDS Online is free to any law enforcement agency
How can Bair Software offer RAIDS Online for free?
Bair Software offers RAIDS Online as a free service to any law enforcement agency who
wishes to participate. At present, most agencies spend thousands of dollars annually to
provide even the most basic crime map to their community. With RAIDS Online, law
enforcement agencies can offer this service to the public at absolutely no cost to the
department. Bair Software is offering RAIDS Online for free for two reasons. One is that
RAIDS Online helps Bair Software meet our corporate mission to improve public safety, and
the other is that RAIDS Online brings exposure to our other analytical products and services
in a way that expensive advertising does not.
RAIDS revolutionizes public crime data sharing
RAIDS Online
Crime information is displayed to the public in RAIDS Online, an easy to use online interface with three views of
crime data: map, data grid and analytics dashboard. RAIDS Online integrates the three views into a simple tabbed
interface. All three views update dynamically as the public adjusts the crime types, date range and search area of
interest to them.
Advanced analytics, like density maps and temporal topologies, are available for public viewing to guide their
interpretation of crime trends in their neighborhood. The RAIDS Blog supports these analytics with useful
information about how to interpret crime graphs and charts correctly.
Metadata, such as the data source and geocoding accuracy for crimes in view, are displayed to improve
transparency and trust between law enforcement and the public.
RAIDS Blog
RAIDS educates the public about how to interpret crime trends and how to stay safe with RAIDS Blog, a centralized
resource of useful information provided by police officers, crime analysts and other law enforcement
professionals. Individuals from participating agencies are welcome and encouraged to submit articles that
communicate directly with their community.
RAIDS Citizen on Patrol
RAIDS helps law enforcement quickly broadcast important information and alerts to the public with RAIDS Citizen
On Patrol (COP). COP allows the public to sign up for email or text message alerts that come directly from their
local law enforcement agency. Amber alerts, crime BOLOs and other important messages are easily sent by a law
enforcement representative through an online interface to participating community members.

Neighborhood Watch
The public can sign up for email alerts about recent crime activity in their neighborhood. Users simply input an
address and search radius to receive updates for that specific area.
The RIDS Online Interface
Map
RAIDS Online displays limited crime data to the public in Google Maps' well known, intuitive mapping interface.
Crime type, street -level address, address name and date and time are displayed for the public. Filtering capabilities
include address search, buffer and date constraints.
Data Grid
RAIDS Online gives the user full control over how data is displayed. In "Data Grid" view users can turn on and off
columns and sort data based on any variable. Data in the grid automatically updates based on the incidents
displayed on the map.
AnaiVtics
Meaningful, visually stunning graphs help users visualize crime trends in their area. Graphs automatically update
based on the data that is displayed on the map giving user's full control over what data they would like to analyze.
Metadata
it is important for the public to feel confident in the data that they are viewing. RAIDS Online's Metadata tab
displays useful information about the data that is being displayed. The source of the data, accuracy of points on
the map and other useful information displayed in RAIDS Online help improve transparency and trust between law
enforcement and the public.
