Five Ways A Law Enforcement Search Engine Can Help Improve Public Saftey Over half of violent crimes and 80% of property crimes go unsolved each year. The information that can solve and prevent these crimes exists but is frequently locked away in inaccessible legacy information silos within the 18,000 local and state law enforcement agencies in the United States. With a law enforcement search engine, you can access all of your agency’s data — along with data from agencies across the United States — with a single, easy-to-use tool. Forensic Logic deploys the largest, most powerful network of users, information and technology in American law enforcement. With the most advanced search and analysis capabilities in the industry, we give our users the information they need to keep themselves and their communities safe. Discover the five ways a search engine can help improve public safety. 1.
