ResourceRouter More Precision, Less Time

The Challenge Before ResourceRouter

Like many law enforcement agencies across the US, the South Bend Police Department (SBPD) faced a decline in staffing that strained community relations as the reduction in officer numbers posed significant challenges in maintaining a visible and impactful police presence. SBPD's crime analysts were also burdened with time-consuming data analysis tasks, spending up to six hours each week to produce week-long hotspot maps for the entire agency.

The Game-Changing Deployment of ResourceRouter

To address these challenges, SBPD deployed ResourceRouter, an innovative tool designed to optimize patrol resource allocation. ResourceRouter automated the data analysis by producing daily, shift-specific, and beat-specific patrol directives, providing a more precise and impactful approach to patrolling.

The Remarkable Impact on Operations

The introduction of ResourceRouter has transformed SBPD's operations, enabling the department to maximize its resources despite a 15-20% reduction in staffing. The automated patrol plans have led to more effective and precise patrols, addressing a wide range of crimes across the jurisdiction, including robbery, aggravated assault, larceny, property crime, and homicides.
