ACIS (Active Crime Intelligence System) is an intelligence, offender-led database that enables a crime reduction partnership to legally and professionally manage their data management issues, whilst complying with Data Protection and the European Convention of Human Rights. It provides excellent audit and management features, together with an easy to use functionality.

It will analyse data and present it in a “User Friendly” form, not only predicting the activities of offenders, but also highlighting ‘Hotspot Areas’ in your town/city. This allows the Crime Reduction Partnership to be extremely pro-active in helping to reduce crime.

There is a facility to export data from one standalone ACIS Database to another ACIS standalone database via encryption over the internet.

Where an ACIS user wishes to send details of a Suspect/Offender and Incident to another ACIS user, there is an option for the appropriate data and image to be encrypted in ACIS and emailed to the recipient via the internet.

The recipient then has a choice to enter this data straight into ACIS at the click of a button without their being a need to re-type all the data.

This is a safe and efficient way of allowing bona fide Crime Reduction Schemes using ACIS to pass confidential data to each other without fear of compromise.
