Police Location Data Quality Hub
Solution
Using location data to enable confidence in police force data
In policing, location data quality is key to day-to-day operational decision making. Incomplete or outdated location data such as address records can lead to inaccurate decision making for police intervention, resource allocations and prevention of crime. Our Police Location Data Quality Hub enables you to take control of your location data quality. By subscribing to the hub you will have access to our range of no code applications, which provide you with automated rules, to manage and validate your location data.

Key Benefits
Our solution gives you confidence in your data quality to make informed decisions based on complete, current and accurate data. Powered by 1Data Gateway and 1Integrate, the Police Location Data Quality Hub’s applications ensure your data has been quality checked and validated against an authoritative data source with apps proving to improve data quality by over 50%.
Poor quality location data creates risk for your department.
It limits officers’ ability to understand what is happening where, whilst leading an investigation or responding to an incident. Our solution ensures data is validated and cleansed automatically, saving officer time whilst dramatically reducing the risks associated with poor quality data.
With 80% of data containing an element of “location”, geospatial data is a key unifying reference that ties together various datasets. Our technology provides data quality validation and improvement across a range of police requirements where the data has a location element. Some examples include; cleansing police address records, correcting the location of incidents recorded, or updating data to ensure it follows current beat boundaries.
Location data is also key to enabling the POLE model (Police, Object, Location, Event) giving police forces confidence in operational decisions and freeing up resources.
Poor quality data can act as a barrier, resulting in low confidence in decisions and large amounts of time spent on repetitive tasks to prepare data for use. For data to be an enabler it must be complete, current and accurate. However, making this a reality is a big task for police forces, unless they can maximise the digital opportunity by embracing data automation technology.
The National Policing Digital Strategy highlights data as a key enabler
Helping the UK to shift from a reactive policing model, to building and using proactive and preventative solutions to protect the public from harm.
Data underpins decision-making, whether that is making rapid decisions responding to an emergency incident or assessing where to deploy resources to prevent crime based on previous patterns and trends. There is an increasing drive for police forces to be digitally led, by investing in technology such as control rooms, data analytics and business intelligence dashboards that help to convert data into practical information. The quality of the data must be considered by police forces before investing in other technology in order to gain value from these investments, as the quality of the output is only as good as the quality of the inputted data. Operational decisions need to be made every day and police forces need to have confidence in the data informing those decisions.
Our range of applications are powered by our rules-engine, 1Integrate, providing a no code library of data quality rules which validate if data is fit for purpose.
