| Goods | The NYPD intends to enter into a pilot program with Azavea to evaluate the efficacy of their predictive analytic software to generate robust forecasts for crime. The Demonstration Project will allow Azavea to custom design for the NYPD crime models, using historic crime data and other variables that will be implemented in up to three precincts. The configuration phase will allow the settings to be tailored to reflect the priorities of the Department and to measure the initial accuracy of the system. The operational phase of the HunchLab application will be delivered in a secure cloud subscription for a two-year period which will enable the Department to evaluate its functionality as a tool for crime reduction. A Demonstration Project will allow the NYPD to evaluate the functionality of the HunchLab Application as a tool for crime reduction and explore incorporating distinct data sets to determine the most accurate forecasts. The Department will be able to test the predictive policing software as a cloud based solution to leverage multiple types of data to arrive at a single picture of criminal risk. |
