STOP! Ask the Questions...

STOP!  
Ask the Questions...
by Nicholas Ashton, CEO/CIO, CommSmart Global Group

What is wrong with asking a question?

Nothing...  CommSmart Global Group's team have ears, eyes, voices, an email address, Skype, Hangouts, and even a telephone number.  

Oh sorry, we gave up the Fax decades ago!

So you have no idea about Digital Policing and what?  

Afraid to ask!

No, it is nothing to do with whether you need an umbrella or not!  In the military and law enforcement, we could not live or succeed without Atmospherics!
 
It is not the days of ‘Evening All’, Dixon of Dock Green, Z Cars, NCIS, Major Crimes, Morse or the Sweeney on television that solved crimes in under sixty minutes minus fifteen minutes of commercials.

Here is the reason why!

The general concept of Atmospherics and considering our social networks, communications, and modern living arrangements it is a vastly different world that I was introduced to on the parade square of Hendon, training for the Metropolitan Police. 

Today, our social atmosphere is dominated by the "silent language" of wireless networks and digital communications which are ever changing and it is not uncommon to see couples or groups of individuals sitting together but totally involved in their personal cell phone, ignoring the presence of the others.

Recent research studies have discovered the importance of other silent languages such as body, temporal, and spatial languages in our social interactions and practitioners in all fields have continued to try and understand and exploit their uses, including in criminal investigations, interrogations, and predictive analysis. 

WHAT THEN IS ATMOSPHERICS USAGE IN LAW ENFORCEMENT?

Everything! 

If we consider a working definition of the concept of atmosphere as the social “silent communicator” of a geographical, political, social or criminal circles that can transmit and contain infrastructures that describe the attitudes, feelings, ideas, and intentions, of those within or a part of those circles, then it is absolutely tantamount, that Law Enforcement understand and analyze this portion of the social dialogue to effectively respond to and prevent crime and terrorism in this modern dynamic, silent atmosphere.  

If this source of information is routinely missing from your department's planning and response to developing a method of operations, conducting investigations, developing community relations and intelligence gathering then you are only dealing with a small part of the evidence/fact acquiring equation. 

This also has colossal implications for community policing and problem-solving activities within our communities as a data gathering and analytical tool.

The days have long gone of the thief, standing at pub bar, smoking, drinking and running his mouth of what he has just succeeded in pulling off.  

Today, it is social media of all forms and running their fingers and thumbs that allow law enforcement to drill-down on the crimes and connections.

Know more... contact us.








Now at the fingertips of those that protect and serve.  Law enforcement is people and people are the police and vice versa.

It is the CommSmart way to present our information to you or through our Super 1829 Symposiums which are powerful mentoring and coaching full day events.

Law enforcement has radically changed since the days of Sir Robert Peel and his Nine Peelian Principles, though, they are the basis of policing and when connected to strategic technology and change agency, times change for the betterment of all, this includes of course community and law enforcement agencies. 

That is the CommSmart Global Group Way!

Time to process society or do YOU continue to ignore?

TIME TO PROCESS SOCIETY
OR DO YOU CONTINUE TO IGNORE?
By Nicholas Ashton, CEO/CIO, CommSmart Global Group

We are all not this stupid, are we?  

Do you go home at night, close the blinds and believe that all is well with the world?  So many of you do and want the outside world to go away.

IT IS NOT, IT IS IN YOUR FACE!

You and your family are living in a bubble if you think that.  over eighty percent of all crime is connected to drugs.  People steal, burglarize, con and feed their drug induced habits on what you own and possess.  

Even members of your own family and you do what?  

NOTHING..!

Ohio has a statistic not to be proud of Gov. John Kasich.  Drug overdoses by the hundreds per week.  People are dying and being pulled back for the claws of death by Heroin overdose on a daily basis.

What do we do, arm EMT's with Narcan, the wonder drug, to save their lives, to live for another fix, which eventually will kill them!

Look at this sad, pathetic couple who are just a sample and example of the US and global drug problem that can proactively be resolved, reduced and quelled.

Law enforcement agencies are expected to be babysitters for grown-ups and always be there!  
They cannot!

Other family members, if not users and traffickers themselves, know this is going on and what do they do, close their minds and say it is not their problem.

IT IS!

Law enforcement agencies, the proactive use of ATMOSPHERICS, a collective crime fighting tool makes the difference.  CommSmart Global Group, a LexisNexis Risks Solutions Partner, has developed and proven that this proactive tool set is the answer and has revolutionized professional crime fighting.

Social Media is a honey pot of information, people cannot keep their mouths and quiet.  They tell the world with their electronic fingers and thumbs and use like a cornucopia bulletin board or how the local pub or bar was the lifeblood of criminal information.  It is an information supply chain if you know how you can use Atmospherics

Hence our Social Media Monitoring, Crime Analytics, Community Crime Mapping and Predictive Analysis prevails.

Cost effective, proactive and a Change that your Communities demand!

Do not sit by, sipping on that cup of coffee, make that cup of coffee's price work for you, for a simple cup of coffee per week, per sworn officer, we will make the difference!

Nicholas Ashton, CEO/CIO, CommSmart Global Group was interviewed on Social Media Monitoring, Crime Analytics, Community Crime Mapping, Predictive Analysis and importantly the foundation of Intelligence Gathering, Social Media Monitoring, whilst in San Diego.





Atmospherics is the CHANGE Agent of Success from the street level police officer through all levels of law enforcement management.Now at the fingertips of those that protect and serve.  Law enforcement is people and people are the police and vice versa.

It is the CommSmart way to present our information to you or through our Super 1829 Symposiums which are powerful mentoring and coaching full day events.
