The Public Made The Difference

Help Came,

Information Flowed,

Do Not Stop…

By Nick Ashton, Founder, CEO,

Tracometry Group of Companies.

This has been a fast and furious 12 hours, since the FBI issued photographs, video and more information on the two persons of interest regarding the Boston Marathon on April 15^th, 2013.

Prior to the release of information, reporters discussed the steps the FBI and local law enforcement had been taking to collect the information surrounding the bombing.  In so doing, Catherine Herridge, an award-winning Chief Intelligence correspondent for FOX News Channel (FNC) based in Washington, D.C. described to a tee, the analytic steps that were being followed, this was the full procedures using the inner workings of Tracometry Group of Companies street level gathering of information and then processed through our crime analytical services and solutions. 

In cases like this, it is then further processed through our crime analytics and next event predictability techniques, powered by BAIR Analytics.  This process is time saving and has been developed since the 1990's.  Never, has there been a crime solving solution, so definitive in is potential results, used in so many ways.

Doing comparative analysis, searching linked data via social media, police reports, narratives, media and public information.  This has been a historic week in crime fighting, behind the scenes, analysts have tools in their solution box to effect results.  It is the creation of the algorithms, proprietary software and techniques that has brought us to this successful conclusion and usage of the systems in crime solving.

There is much more to do and on a daily basis over 500 agencies use our software to solve crimes and make our streets safer by early apprehension of criminals.  Our predictive analysis is beyond reproach.  Solving serial crime and criminals is our forte and has proved effective, time and time again.

The request for information by the Boston police and the FBI resulted in a mass influx of information, which had to be processed extremely quickly.  It is no good having this amount of data coming in, if you have no way to process.  Data silos are useless to us, the information must be actively utilized.

A precedent has been set this week in the willingness of the public to assist in crime fighting.  Safely the public can assist with information and the momentum of this free-flow of information must continue. 

  

As we stated yesterday, it has taken decades to change the mindset of the public, tragedy, death and invasion of ruthless killers, has in an instance, changed how we can now move forward with additional crime fighting assistance.  This was not the way we wanted to have the public join us, but in this turbulent world of street crime, drug trafficking, terrorism, rape, murder, domestic and child abuse, the public must be involved in tackling crime.

"Criminals are color blind. They don't care about the victim's race, class or creed. They target anyone. They show no mercy on those they affect, plunder and kill.  That is why fighting crime has to be a collective effort," stated Nick Ashton, Founder/CEO, Tracometry Group of Companies.

This information is vital to solve these crimes and we must maintain this confidence in public assistance. Thank you and we ask you to do more, please assist in as many ways as possible, you are and can make a difference national and in your neighborhoods.

WE are in the NOW and

KEEP YOU; in the KNOW…

Just the Facts, Just the Facts...

Your Help Is Needed,

No, Required…

By Nick Ashton, Founder, CEO,

Tracometry Group of Companies.

Public cooperation has been lacking in the fight against crime, until the horrific bombing at the Boston marathon, on Monday April 15^th, 2013.

Through video and photographs, law enforcement is now searching for  individuals.

The days of only the police being responsible for fighting crime is now over.

“We live in different times. The landscape and challenges have changed, everybody has a part to play in ensuring the country’s security,” said Nick Ashton, Founder/CEO, Tracometry Group of Companies.”

It has taken decades to change the mindset of the public, tragedy, death and invasion of ruthless killers, has in an instance, changed how we can now move forward with additional crime fighting assistance.  This was not the way we wanted to have the public join us, but in this turbulent world of street crime, drug trafficking, terrorism, rape, murder, domestic and child abuse, the public must be involved in tackling crime.

"Criminals are color blind. They don't care about the victim's race, class or creed. They target anyone. They show no mercy on those they affect, plunder and kill.  That is why fighting crime has to be a collective effort," stated Ashton.

Despite efforts to get the public involved over the decades, cooperation was still lacking until Monday, April 15^th, more mobile phone cameras clicked and documented the event of terror than ever before.  Social media took a great leap as a crime fighting tool, literally hundreds of thousands, if not millions of images were captured of this event.

The public were there, the event happened next to them, they were part of the sad action and today, everyone has a camera in their hands.  Pre and post event digital information by the ton is now at hand and everyone was now the recorder of record. Social media from Twitter, Facebook, Google +, Instagram and others, were the conduits of vital real time evidence. 

Different from the day of Sir Robert Peel, who, in 1829, formed the first police force in Great Britain.  Certainly there has been a mindset that the police are the only ones to fight crime and the public, in general, believed that only the police should be responsible for tracking the criminals.

Now after Monday’s event, the public understand the important role they can play.  This wake up call, although tragic, moves us in a very different direction.  It has its draw backs, one of which, is information overload.  That is where the Tracometry Group of Companies enters the crime scene.

Data and information grows exponentially daily and if not manipulated, becomes useless in hours.  Unconnected data silos are nothing more than expensive computer drives or file cabinets. Useless, to say the least!  Sitting collected data does nothing to solve crime.

The ability to search this data with sophisticated proprietary algorithmic software, developed, proven and successful, as a crime fighting tool, is vital and is not a dream, it has been in operation since the late 1990’s. In fact we have updated and created even more crime fighting tools, each and every year since.

Crime analytics, tracking, calls for service data and importantly, next event predictability are solution tools available to every crime fighting agency, worldwide.  Powered by BAIR Analytics, Tracometry Group of Companies, has vast expertise in this field and dominates the arena of crime solutions.

With social media being a data stream in its millions of characters, it is impossible for any single human being to know what the “chatter” of the day is.  We can, by analyzing each and every word that is “thumbed” by all, looking for common denominators, patterns and systemic themes that are being communicated, identified and isolated for further investigation.

Photographic evidence is a boon as a crime fighting tool and is, but part of creating a timeline of events.  The software to create comparisons is relatively new and in the last four years has taken giant strides in recognition and pattern analysis.  Sadly far from what is portrayed on NCIS or CIS television series, but it will get there.  No one could ever believe that our predictive tools were real, they thought it from the movies and was just in a script writer’s mind.

Tracometry Group of Companies is real!  It is the connection between fiction and non-fiction, it is here today saving lives around the world with its next event predictability regarding the placement of IED’s in Afghanistan, or to catch bank robbers in the act of doing the crime.  It saves thousands of man hours and completes in minutes, in what police researchers would normally take half a day to finish.  Yes, that effective in utilizing resources.

It is not just crime analytics, municipalities use us for traffic pattern, and in fact any type of city information can be analyzed.

So times have changed overnight and we must encompass the public’s momentum in wanting to assist in crime fighting and help law enforcement understand the ramifications of these willing bodies that are out there.  

Gone are the days of it is just the cops that solve crimes, it has taken a leap in a positive direction and is for us to use, not lose!

WE are in the NOW and

What Will This Week Bring?

By Nick Ashton, Founder, CEO,

Tracometry Group of Companies.

More incidents, in Any City, USA, teens shooting each other, domestic violence, rape and as the heat increases what else will you all do to each other? 

Just thought I would mention it... 

As the summer starts is warming trend, so do community and employee issues, with warmer temperatures comes hotter tempers which usually end with an altercation of some sort or another. Angry management, if mentioned, is an insult to the individual who is boiling over and family and employers must step in. The worry is simple, do they, the anger individual have just fists or something that is more lethal? Concern in going out the wee hours and telling an individual to turn off their car radio, do not do it! Call 911 and report!

Employee situations, where you see someone in melt-down, tell management, it is not snitching, it can save lives.

If you are concerned and want action, not just words, join us, together we will make the difference!

How Is Your Weekend Going?

Weekend Ponderment

By Nick Ashton, Founder, CEO,

Tracometry Group of Companies.

So it is the weekend and the weather is warmer.  How do I know that?  Not from the local weather girls and guys, but by the moron, who at 2 a.m. turns up his car stereo and blasts Rap Crap for twenty minutes!

Yes, warmer weather brings out the worst in the human kind and our crime statistics prove it.  2013 is becoming a very interesting year in the world of crime analytics.  California, Philadelphia and New York, larger populous areas are experiencing a reduction in crime incidents and it has us wondering why.  People are still killing, raping and abusing each other but the trend is going down.  Should this be comfort to us?  Yes and No!

Unemployment brings boredom and begets violence and criminal activity and increases during the warmer months.  Last night was an example.  Please do not go out at 2 a.m. and confront the morons, they may have a gun and lead poisoning is not good.

Migration is lowering crime in some states, others massive increases and we are focusing on you!

So follow what we talk about on this blog and we shall guide you on the change, The Pied Piper Project is alive, well and working.  

People are in a TRAP and we need a better mouse trap and we have it. 

It equals placing respect back into neighbors.  It brings understanding that people need jobs, retraining and education.  Entitlements are over, you must work for what you have and we shall show you how through positive reinforcement  the proactive approach.  Reactionary tactics do not last and have failed us.

The time is now and the Tacometry Group of Companies leads the way in social initiatives, which include:

• Crime analysis
• Tracking
• Calls for Service Data
• Next Event Predictability
• The Pied Piper Project - Rejuvenation of Communities and People
• Recoupeit - Reuniting Revenues with Municipalities and Cities
• Digital data Collection - from the street to the data in real time

Stop Flopping Around!

Choosing Strategic Partners 

that Really Do Partner UP!

By Nick Ashton, Founder, CEO, 

Tracometry Group of Companies.

Ever feel like a six-armed disconnected flopping octopus? "If I only had two more working arms, I could undertake so much more!" Every entrepreneur strives to be a master multitasker, always doing numerous things at once. Strategic alliances are the finest way to extend your reach and accomplish so much more.

Listen, you cannot do everything on your own, can you?

The definition of a successful strategic alliance is a long-term partnership, it has to be a win-win situation in order to be justifiable and mutually advantageous. No one has all the answers, it is the ability to see others expertise and how you both can take advantage of each other’s merits.

How can you choose wisely? By beginning with conducting a strategic full analysis of the marketplace sectors that you current revolve in and firmly target the audiences that makes the most sense for your ability to conduct your business.

• What are the most lucrative zones?
• Where is the greatest opportunity for growth?
• Understand clearly where you are, so that you can find the partners that best balance you.

Once you've done the right analysis, contemplate the following questions:
What's your gut feeling about the partner you're considering?

• Is there “real” interaction?
• Is there a natural fit in terms of principles, veracity, and character?
• Do your potential partners "get it"?

That is, do they have a solid understanding of your objectives and goals, and are they genuinely excited about joining forces for an alliance and vice a versa? 

Thankfully they do! When you have team that all work from the same page and from various positive angles, still arriving at the correct and agreeable decisions, ending in the complementary results, you know you have made a wise and solid choice.

This is why the Tracometry Group of Companies has such a well-rounded relationship with all, partners, staff and clients. Our skills do not bog us down, we use our individual skill sets for the benefit of all. In our case, it is about circles, the circle of fire with all elements complementing each other.

Digital understanding of data collection and real time transference. Using the Penamatics, digital pen and paper, which is ubiquity personified. Knowing that information sharing is vital to be a success and ahead of your competition and in our crime aspects, ahead of the bad guys.

The ability to analyze data with proven unique algorithms for use in crime statistics, allowing for crime analytics, tracking, Calls for Service Data, Next Event Predictability and importantly first class results. RAIDSonline, powered by BAIR Analytics, is that complete difference in fighting crime with tools that the criminal does not have.

Data capture is one thing, criminal apprehension is another!

There are more communities nationwide that are in dire social trouble. Violence, teens killing teens, drug use and selling, domestic and child abuse, unemployment and total social-economic decline. It takes more than entitlements to reverse this disgusting landscape and pull them back to productive involvement. The Pied Piper Project does just that, we make the change, together.

Projects and services cost money, they take investment and when the coffers are reaching near empty, you must recognize what needs to be enacted and now. Collections of outstanding debts, from court imposed fines, property taxes and fees, monies owed to the community is the key to refilling the coffers with what is rightfully owed. With over twenty years of successful collections in Europe, recoupeit – reuniting revenues, has brought it’s expertise to the U.S.A. 

Municipalities and cities need all the help they can get and not even think of filing bankruptcy. It does nothing for the citizens, they are the life blood of the community with enough on their plates. It only adds a stain, increasing the blight and social distaste to all.

This is us, a core of success, with a team that is connected. The majority of the team are former members of law enforcement with analytic and computer expertise. Others are the creators of digital system, solutions and have the answers you require, no, your citizens demand! Join our circle of fire and burn off the problems and increase your social and economic status.

The Tracometry Group of Companies simply removes the FEAR FACTOR and increases the COMFORT ZONE. Revitalizing your municipality, neighborhood, communities and importantly, your citizens. 

Time is of the essence… 

There is so much that you and your partners can do together to extend your reach. 

Oh, with these workable ideas, you should be able to find strategic partners that really partner. And you'll discover that you are just an eight-armed octopus after all.

WE are in the NOW and KEEP YOU; in the KNOW…
