Government

Government, law enforcement and other public sector agencies have long made use of geospatial technology and mapping solutions to better serve their constituents.

• Crime analysis - Mapping high crime areas and deploying law enforcement appropriately
• Homeland security - Identifying and securing the locations of infrastructure and assets
• Emergency response - Coordinating efforts of various response teams in different locations; planning evacuation and alternative routes; mapping incident areas
• Zoning, growth and taxes - Mapping zones, property ownership, school district boundaries, and growth plans
• Service routing - Efficient routing of trash pickup, leaf collection, snow plowing, and other services to reduce costs and fuel expenditures
• Human services - Identify areas needing more program funding or place a child into a foster home that is in the same school district

Many states, counties, and municipalities now offer Web-based applications for the public to access real time information on services, zoning, tax assessment, and more.

These self-service, location-based applications help reduce the number of phone calls to offices and improve your ability to provide current, accurate information to the people you serve.
