The application of geospatial technologies to humanitarian crises and security situations is becoming more common. Examples like crowdsourced mapping are now an integral part of humanitarian response. For data acquisition where UAVs are restricted or not available, GPS enabled ground level 360-degree cameras can help fill the gap in actionable information. Innovations include the development of a synthetic police dataset to enable those engaged with police and related agencies to learn what police data contains, its complexity across multiple silos, and the problems faced with free text entries, data errors and deliberate misinformation from the criminal community.
