Elevating Auto Parts Insight Theftsfor Law Enforcement Using Geospatial Predictive Analytics
Location: Alexandria, VA | United States Analysis Performed by: GeoEye Analytics & Alexandria PD Imagery: GeoEye-1 - .50-meter resolution Collection date: 1 Day April Month 20102012
Background
In early 2009, the City of Alexandria began experiencing a series of larcenies of parts from vehicles. The Alexandria Police department was looking for ways to more effectively deploy their resources and to learn more about where subsequent incidents were likely to take place. Through a joint effort, GeoEye Analytics and the Alexandria PD were able to achieve unprecedented levels of insight into these crimes through the use of Geospatial Predictive Analysis.
Analysis Report:
Auto Parts Thefts Using Geospatial Predictive Analytics
Using patented statistical methodologies and advanced tools, GeoEye analyzed past events in a geospatial context, discovering patterns and relationships to identify where similar incidents might occur in the future. Intelligence analysts, military planners and law enforcement personnel around the world rely on this capability to make informed decisions and better plan operations.

1. Map Incidents
The incident locations represented as blue dots are the reported incidents of vehicle part thefts from January to May 2009.

The locations of past auto parts theft incidents from January to May 2009 (blue dots) were used to produce a kernal density hot spot map.

Subsequent thefts from June and July 2009 are represented as green dots. Notice how these incidents mostly fall outside of the density map and would not be discovered or prevented using this traditional approach.

Using Geospatial Predictive Analytics, GeoEye can identify the environment where incidents occur, then finds other areas with a similar environment. The more similar an environment is to the incidents environment, the higher the likelihood for a future or undiscovered event.

Instead of using density to map hot spot locations of historical events, we can use geospatial predictive analytics to look at the most likely locations of where future events might take place. This analysis was performed using GeoEye Analytics technology and subject matter expertise from the City of Alexandria Police Dept.

Once we overlay the same subsequent events from June and July we can clearly see that the GeoEye method has captured the likely locations for the future events.

Comparing the results of the two methodologies with the validation points in green, one can observe that GeoEyes geospatial predictive analysis is a more effective means to anticipate the location of similar incidents. This capability can help decision makers gain new insights and better deploy scarce resources to help prevent such activity.
