What PRI Can Do For You

Enterprise IT planning  is what prevents disjointed systems from being purchased and implemented, resulting in data silos and fractured workflows.  It's what averts getting the latest shiny new tool without forethought given to its impact on existing business process. It's what enables cost-effective business decisions and cost savings.  We will assess, document, prioritize and determine the total cost of ownership of your agency's technology needs. Plan ahead before buying uninformed.  


Business intelligence tools provide your agency with key performance indicators such as real-time clearance rates, report turn-around times, crime stats, use of force and report error-rates per officer, supervisor and agency overall.   In just a few days, we'll build a custom dashboard and live data visualizations which uncover patterns, trends and problems as they occur.


Politics, Records and Facial Recognition in Criminal Justice: How it affects us all
While in the gym this morning, I overheard a man and a woman discussing last night's presidential debate.  One of them said, "I just think she's easier on the eyes; how the person looks, I think, is just really important you know".  The other one agreed.  They continued to chat about the "optics" of it all, personal appearance, and quite frankly, about nothing that matters in the selection of a President.  It is amazing how far we have strayed from assessing the issues, the facts, the things being said, and from questioning them. Like a sponge absorbing everything it's given, critical thinking, it seems, has gone out the window.

In the same vein, when it comes to today's issues in criminal justice, decisions are all too often made without much forethought and in response to ill-informed perception.  Such is the case today for a revolutionary technology which can literally have profound positive results in the reduction of crime. Facial recognition.
