Risk Terrain Modeling Integration
SAS and Zencos have partnered with Simsi to integrate risk terrain modeling (RTM) into the Crime Insights solution. This tool allows your agency to assess high-risk locations for specific crime types and proactively prevent crime.
What is Risk Terrain Modeling (RTM)?
RTM is a spatial risk assessment tool that analyzes environmental conditions contributing to crime. By analyzing spatial patterns and linking the built environment to criminal behaviors, RTM transforms raw crime data into actionable insights, helping you anticipate where and why crime problems may occur or persist. It focuses on places rather than people to identify why crimes occur in specific patterns.
Why RTM is important in policing:
Helps diagnose and explain crime patterns
Provides reliable spatial analysis for evidence-based decision-making
Supports crime prevention efforts and efficient resource allocation
Enhances community engagement and collaboration
How does RTM work?
Crime location data is combined with property features and analyzed using Simsi's spatial tools. The output is a risk-scored map, accessible on the Crime Insights dashboard, alongside temporal visualizations for deeper analysis.
