Law enforcement agencies are trailblazers of using graph analysis to understand connections. Manual and partially automated link analysis tools have been crucial in an investigation and situational awareness capacity for several decades. Meanwhile, the global explosion in data volumes and sources hasn't been limited to the private sector. Law Enforcement agencies, departments and fusion centers use a vast array of databases and sources, including Record Management Systems (RMS), Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and countless other sources. In this webinar, Christian Miles of Cambridge Intelligence (makers of KeyLines) will introduce the benefits of graph technologies for law enforcement. He will show how to use Neo4j with compelling graph visualization techniques to improve performance and analytics when working with large volumes of law enforcement data.
