Comment: Although this article prominently mentions the amount of money the software costs, what it fails to do is mention the amount of money potentially saved through the ability to target areas of crime. For example, without this software, how many more officers would be needed on the payroll to deliver the same level of protection to the city's inhabitants and visitors? Although the answer to that question is still in the balance, it is not unreasonable to believe that by using a GIS to effectively determine crime hot spots, and then targeting resources there on, geospatial technologies will be serving as a force multiplier for a whole lot less money.
