The Role of Data Fusion in Predictive Policing


Data fusion is the process of bringing together information from multiple sources into a single intelligence platform. Instead of investigating isolated records, law enforcement agencies can connect FIRs, CCTV footage, call records, vehicle data, field reports, and open-source intelligence (OSINT) to build a complete picture of criminal activity.

The goal is not to predict who will commit a crime. It is to identify emerging risks, uncover hidden connections, and help officers make informed decisions before incidents escalate.
