A city has been loosened from the
grip of two men. All public safety
departments worked tirelessly to achieve this goal. The public listened, followed the commands,
informed and watched, waiting for the outcome.
The answer came with the violent arrest of the second bomber.
The true connection between
public and police departments worked, they communicated on a severe
criminal case, both wanting a safe end.
Information, photographs and tips bombarded the FBI tip line and all contributed to this success.
The momentum must continue to
tell the existing preying criminals, things are different from now on.
Police and public must continue to work hand in hand
to remove crime from the streets, communities, neighborhoods and households. This wanting need for safety is there to be
expanded, bringing back what we once use to have.
The Tracometry Group of Companies is a conduit for this success. Our circle
of fire, which includes:
the
core need of collecting street level information, digitally, which expedites
the distribution to all
crime
analytics, tracking analysis, calls for service and next event predictability
Pied
Piper Project, rejuvenating communities by bringing back Trust, Respect and Pride, which in turn
increase responsibility
Recoupeit,
reuniting revenues for municipalities and cities. Collecting monies owed
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 15th, 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.
Public
cooperation has been lacking in the fight against crime, until the horrific
bombing at the Boston marathon, on Monday April 15th, 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.”

Despite
efforts to get the public involved over the decades, cooperation was still
lacking until Monday, April 15th, 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!
