In the current economic climate delivering greater operational efficiency while reducing resource levels is a key challenge for police forces.

The Communications Data Analytics Tool automates the processing of telecoms data and can significantly reduce the time any single analyst spends working on data cleansing. More importantly, it can provide rapid and meaningful input to major investigations.

All data configurations from the major UK Communications Service Providers (CSPs) can be processed, and results are displayed in an easy-to-use and fully searchable format. It removes the requirement for manual data cleansing and manipulation, and frees the analyst to focus on decision making and analysis.

The Communications Data Analytics Tool enables police forces to:

• Maximise intelligence from data requested under specific legislation such as the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (RIPA);
• Open up new lines of enquiry by highlighting call records which exist in more than one case;
• Support collaborative working by enabling many investigators to access data at the same time;
• Quickly identify relationships by generating entity relationship diagrams to map mobile calls or show search results.
