DICE™
DICE™ provides a strategic framework and process for public safety with Risk Terrain Modeling (RTM). It’s a data-informed approach that helps communities create crime prevention programs and manage public spaces.
In the criminal justice field, “co-production” means involving people or groups beyond their usual roles, so they actively help develop programs and services.
DICE™ views public safety as everyone’s responsibility. It gives all local stakeholders a part to play in reducing crime and managing risk, guiding them on how to best use their unique skills and insights.
With DICE™, crime prevention becomes a shared effort where multiple groups work together from start to finish. This means they’re involved at every stage—defining the problem, designing and managing programs, and generating knowledge about what works.
DICE™ is easy to set up in any jurisdiction, using existing resources to make an immediate impact. Local government departments and non-government organizations (NGOs) bring their expertise and assets to the table. Each group contributes to the larger mission while focusing on what they do best.
DICE™ keeps crime prevention flexible and responsive. As new challenges and data come up, it adjusts to stay relevant to local needs. This adaptability allows DICE™ to make the most of local talent and resources, encouraging groups to work together instead of competing for a single solution.
DICE™ creates a strategy that combines multiple tactics and best practices, addressing multiple problems at once. This approach leads to stronger, community-driven crime prevention efforts.
Simsi’s DICE™ Mentorship Program includes software and support to get your local jurisdiction up-and-running quickly with DICE™ via the Public Safety Collaborative (PSC) model. Simsi’s experienced and knowledgeable DICE™ Mentorship Team works directly with your designated local liaison(s) to complete key tasks over 24 months. Initially, the Simsi Team takes the lead while teaching the local liaison and building their confidence along the way. Then, the local liaison takes more responsibility as the Simsi Team steps back to a more supportive role. Your DICE™ initiative is always locally relevant with local control and ownership. Simsi works with you to adopt best-practices and build sustainable success.
