About The Customer
The Michigan State Police Department is a law enforcement agency with more than 1,000 officers. Founded in 1917, the MSPD today consists of a modern-day force of more than 1,000 law enforcement professionals using the latest up-to-date training and technology to protect citizens across the state. With a mission to provide the highest quality law enforcement and public safety with a highly-trained, full-service staff that is mobile, flexible, and responsive to emerging needs, the Michigan State Police has evolved into one of the leading police agencies in the U.S.
The Challenge
The Michigan State Police Department (MSPD) was facing a challenge in accessing vital criminal, incident, and activity data from a variety of disparate sources. The department wanted to make it easier and more consistent for commanders and other headquarters staff to access this information. The data was inconsistently retrieved and analyzed across the department, with some users relying on Crystal Reports, others on Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. The department wanted to promote uniformity in what information was accessed and how it was viewed and compared.
The Solution
The MSPD leveraged Information Builders’ solutions, including the Law Enforcement Analytics (LEA) package. LEA serves as the foundation of an intuitive dashboard that allows their commanders to track crime and enforcement statistics statewide, by district or by post, map crimes and crashes, in near realtime, manage key performance metrics for trooper activity and crime clearance against department and Field Services Bureau goals, and identify the probability of traffic crashes to proactively protect dangerous intersections and roadways. The MSPD is using Information Builders’ integration capabilities to gather and consolidate needed information, which includes crime details obtained by local police agencies across the state and data entered into mobile computers by troopers in the field.

Smart City Public Safety
Amyx+ worked with a local government authority to develop an Internet of Things-enabled public safety strategy. In the current state, vigilance meant manually scanning through potentially hundreds of analog surveillance videos feeds. Manual, costly and ineffective, the local agency desired to transition from analog to digital CCTV, apply computer vision and other technologies to automatically detect potential crime in progress, expedite and streamline emergency calls and integrate with personal wearables to ensure the safety of their citizens.
