SAN DIEGO, CA --Universal Mind, Inc., today previewed the latest release of its SpatialKey Law Enforcement Dashboard at the International Association of Chiefs of Police Conference. SpatialKey gives law enforcement agencies unprecedented access and insight into their operational, intelligence and crime data. The speed and ease of use of the dashboard enables casual users to accomplish in a matter of minutes what previously would take trained analysts hours or days.

The newest SpatialKey adds significant enhancements to the already powerful management, geospatial analysis and reporting dashboard. Extensive feedback from commanders, special units, patrol operations and crime analysts from a broad range of police and sheriff organizations helped shape this release of SpatialKey. The dashboard provides these groups the ability to interactively view and analyze data and create map-based reports using information from the agency's existing systems.

Key improvements in this SpatialKey release include the ability to:

  • Use charts and graphs for analysis and reports.
  • Create and save personalized views of information, analysis and reports.
  • Filter data by custom areas such as a focused patrol area or district.
  • Understand and report on the impact of law enforcement initiatives using new reporting tools with side-by-side map views that can be used to compare the same area at different points in time.
  • View multiple data sets concurrently. As an example, crime and offender location data could be overlaid to make it easier to see matches.
  • Better manage information access and rights via Data, User and User Group administration tools.

"Universal Mind continues to exceed our expectations. I have never seen an organization translate their commitment to us into product capability with the speed these guys do," said Jon J. Griener, Chief of Police, Ogden, Utah. "The first version of SpatialKey was amazing. What they are doing with this release has blown us away. SpatialKey will totally change the way law enforcement leaders think about and work with information and the value it delivers to their organizations and communities. SpatialKey is a tool every commander should strongly consider."

"In this release of SpatialKey we focused on making it easy for the entire organization to work with information personalized to their needs and responsibilities," said Tom Link, Universal Mind's chief technology officer. "SpatialKey delivers a low-cost, easy-to-use means of working with previously difficult to integrate agency information sources."

SpatialKey pricing varies by the size of agency. A medium size agency should expect to pay between $15,000 - $30,000 for implementation, training and licensing fees in their first year of operation.
