08 May 25. South Wales and Gwent Police have selected Simpson Associates for their Joint Data Analytics Programme (JDAP) initiative. This programme aims to revolutionise intelligence-led policing, improve resource allocation, and enhance public safety through the application of data-driven insights. Developing Data Capabilities for Improved Policing. Simpson Associates will develop a scalable Data Analytics Platform to integrate real-time operational data, aiming to improve data accessibility for analysis. The three core objectives of this initiative are:
- Infrastructure and Technology: Implementing a robust and scalable infrastructure to support both forces data objectives.
- Data Analytics: Creating a unified data analytics platform to support data-driven insights across both forces.
- Advanced Insights: Equipping the forces with predictive analytics to inform strategic, tactical, and operational decisions in real time.
The implementation of this platform is expected to provide a secure, high-performance analytics platform to strengthen forecasting, demand and capacity planning, and operational readiness. The anticipated benefits include:
- Supporting evidence-based decision-making through forecasting, trend analysis, and predictive modelling of operational scenarios.
- Enabling more effective resource planning and deployment by providing a centralised view of demand, capacity, and capability across the forces using a centralised data office.
- Facilitating the early identification of risks and emerging issues to help prevent crime and protect vulnerable individuals.
- Providing officers and staff with self-service access to accurate, timely, and consolidated data insights, reducing reliance on siloed information and manual processes.
