Use Data to Drive Action Where It Counts

Rather than just creating charts or maps, Simsi analytics are designed to help you take immediate, actionable steps. While many platforms help you observe the problem, we help you break it down into manageable, solvable parts.

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.

Build Institutional Memory Across Agencies

Today, collaboration across agency boundaries is essential. Simsi provides a platform for Public Safety Programming, creating a structured, collaborative approach that connects agency missions to the problems they’re best equipped to solve.

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."
