WASHINGTON, Dec. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
LexisNexis® Risk Solutions today released a new survey
of law enforcement leaders on data sharing, workload focus,
challenges they face, and more. The survey was conducted leading up
to and during the International Association of Chiefs of Police
Annual 2019 Conference.
These findings highlight the importance of arming law
enforcement leaders with data solutions that are easy to deploy,
increase data accuracy and relevancy for optimal analysis, and
quickly identify patterns that enable leadership to pinpoint and
respond to existing and emergent threats.
Key Findings from the Survey include:
- The top three challenges law enforcement face in their
jurisdictions are opioids, property crimes, and gang activity;
- 63 percent of respondents indicate personnel management -
recruiting, staffing and training - comprise the most
time-intensive aspect of their day, with managing community
relationships second;
- 66 percent of respondents indicate they prefer to see law
enforcement data and share data nationwide;
- IT resources, budget and cooperation amongst local agencies
were the top reasons respondents identified as barriers to data
sharing; and
- The entire survey can be found online.
"The job of law enforcement is truly never done. These survey
results pull back the veil on what occurs behind the scenes, and
can help inform the resources we arm them with to ease the
administrative burdens around data sharing needs and enable them to
focus on their top priority," said Haywood
Talcove, CEO, Government, LexisNexis Risk Solutions and
LexisNexis Special Services Inc.
"The problem of multijurisdictional information sharing is
partly the volume of data collected when officers complete
citations electronically, upload data from cameras, write police
reports in report management systems (RMS) and complete online
booking entries," said Tom Sizer,
senior director, Public Safety Market Planning. "This is where the
problem extends to finding the right information, and finding it
quickly to share with other jurisdictions to help with the opioid
and gang related issues."
LexisNexis Risk Solutions equips law enforcement with a variety
of comprehensive tools for targeting investigations and creating
dashboards that link billions of public records – including crime
reports, calls for service, crash reports, license plate records,
