We have released a short guide to online crime mapping, featuring our ForceView product, in response to the flood of enquiries we have received since the Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith, announced plans to roll out crime maps to all police forces by the end of the year. The announcement was made during a visit to one of our online crime mapping customers, West Midlands Police, in July 2008.
ForceView allows online crime mapping to be implemented in a quarter of the time taken to do it in-house, making it an ideal solution for police forces who need to put their crime statistics online by the end of the year.
Call Paula Holdstock on 01527 556920 to request a copy of the guide or to arrange a one hour ‘planning and implementation’ overview of crime mapping, including a summary of the lessons learned to date.
Last September, Dotted Eyes worked together with West Midlands Police to launch a crime mapping website, MyNeighbourhood. Today, the Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith, visited West Midlands Police at Brierley Hill to view the site and announce plans to roll out crime mapping across the UK.
She told BBC TV News today: “Last week we published statistics that showed that crime had fallen probably to historic levels in the last year but of course what people want to know is not just what is happening nationally but what is happening in their neighbourhood. And that’s why I have been looking here today in the West Midlands at crime maps which can actually enable you to know what is happening to crime in your own neighbourhood and also even more importantly how you can work alongside the police to bring it down even further because the public are our best weapon in helping to fight crime and anti-social behaviour. And the thing that they are doing here in the West Midlands today I, along with the Association of Chief Police Officers, think we can actually see everywhere in the country by the end of this year.”
The MyNeighbourhood website has been live since September 2007, and an updated version of the site is due to be launched in September this year. Charlie Gilbert, Dotted Eyes’ crime mapping specialist, will be presenting on West Midlands Police’s post-implementation experiences at the 6th National Crime Mapping Conference at Manchester tomorrow (29th July).
For more information, read the full Home Office press release here. Alternatively, visit MyNeighbourhood or call Dotted Eyes on 01527 556920.

We have launched a new support web portal for our technical support customers. Visitors to the portal are able to submit and manage support requests online. The portal also gives access to downloads and a knowledgebase.
Technical support customers are now advised to submit support requests online as supporting information, such as log files, can easily be uploaded for review by our consultants.
The new portal is a forerunner to our new range of support packages, which will be available from mid-August 2008.
We’re delighted to sponsor AGI for the second year in a row. It’s been an exciting year for us so we’ve got a lot to display at AGI.
Stand visitors have the chance to find out about the mapping datasets and services available to around 500 organisations as part of the NHS Mapping Agreement. Those interested in crime and community safety will be able to view our web based crime mapping application, originally developed for West Midlands Police, which is attracting considerable interest countrywide in the light of the recent Casey Report. Councils and other organisations with holdings of OS MasterMap can take a look at the new features introduced in SuperpOSe 5.1, including the heralded ability to view historic map data. And, by no means least, everyone has the chance to spot Dotted Eyes’ new MD and other staff in full 80’s get up at the AGI party!

Dotted Eyes has been chosen by the NHS in England and Wales to provide digital mapping data to the NHS in a landmark four-year agreement.
The company has been awarded the contract following an OJEU competitive tendering process run by The NHS Information Centre (The IC) on behalf of both ambulance trusts and the wider NHS in England.
The new arrangement provides NHS organisations with a range of digital mapping data products available through a fixed schedule of prices.
Ben Allan, managing director of Dotted Eyes, said: “Around 500 NHS organisations including NHS trusts, strategic health authorities and primary care trusts can apply to purchase mapping data under the scheme. All 11 ambulance service NHS trusts have already signed up and we delivered a full set of core data products to them within hours of the contract being signed.”
