Use Data to Drive Action Where It Counts

Democratize Public Safety Decisions
Engage the community by asking what they need in the places that matter most, then work together to create a future that equitably meets those needs. Empower your community with data-driven solutions that stop crime before it happens and create safer futures for all.

Customer Highlight — Summer 2024
City of Green Bay: Leading the Way in Violence Prevention
The City of Green Bay is making remarkable strides in violence prevention by leveraging Risk Terrain Modeling (RTM) to coordinate resources effectively. In 2023, the Office of Violence Prevention (OVP) was established following a grant from the Medical College of Wisconsin. To ensure best practices, the OVP collaborates with the National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform for technical consulting. From the local team: "Investing in neighborhoods is a powerful tool for reducing violence in Green Bay. Risk Terrain Modeling (RTM), powered by Simsi, is central to our decision-making at the OVP. It uses predictive analytics to assess past incidents and generates maps that forecast where violence may occur, based on robust statistical analyses."

Diagnostics, not predictions
Break down and solve big problems.
Big challenges become manageable when broken into actionable interventions. Address the issue from multiple angles with resources that best align with your needs.
How Does RTM Optimize Resource Allocation?
- Simsi identifies place-based risks by analyzing how locations like bars, ATMs, and other key points of interest contribute to crime patterns, helping you target interventions in the most vulnerable areas.
- With many points of interest managed by agencies or organizations, our analysis reveals opportunities for partnerships to address specific risks effectively.
- Maximize the impact of your current resources by focusing them on high-risk locations, saving costs while achieving greater results.
