Deploy Industry-Leading Identity Resolution Technology in Law Enforcement
Criminal Justice Information Systems (CJISs) and Criminal History Systems (CHSs)
A primary requirement of CJISs and CHSs is to query and locate criminal records using identity attributes such as name, date of birth, identification number (for example, Social Security number) and other supporting data, such as tattoos, marks, and warnings. Such searches must be possible even when there is limited data. Regardless of the mix of attributes available, fast, reliable identity searches and accurate matching and ranking of results are fundamental for officer and public safety and vital for successful background checking.
Name Searching
Law enforcement systems often need to perform searches on person and organization names. The names could be those of criminals, suspects, witnesses, missing persons, registered offenders, or gangs. Regardless of format, country of origin, or quality and completeness of the data, the Informatica solution for identity resolution in law enforcement supports both fast on-line inquiries and comprehensive batch matching.
Address and Location Searches
The quality and completeness of addresses presented to law enforcement systems can vary significantly. When only limited address attributes are available or the data quality is questionable, the system must still be able to find relevant candidates in the search. In addition, addresses in such systems are often incompatible with addresses in postal reference files. The Informatica solution for identity resolution in law enforcement does not require addresses to be formatted, clean, and complete, nor does it require valid postal addresses to successfully retrieve, match, and rank good candidates.
Intelligence and Case Management Systems
To provide the information needed to support case investigation and management, intelligence systems must be able to index, search, and find relationships among a variety of entities and identification attributes (for example, names, addresses, locations, gang names, telephone numbers, or VINs.) With the Informatica solution for identity resolution in law enforcement, intelligent indexing and searching and matching can be performed on all types of naming data. In a batch system, the software can be used to discover and report on the groupings and links between identities in one or multiple files, and the output fed into an organization's visual analysis workbench.
Stolen Property
The names and descriptions of stolen property are prone to significant variation, synonyms, abbreviations, and word order error. The Informatica solution for identity resolution in law enforcement provides extended indexing capabilities, flexible search strategies, and customized population rule sets that make searching on stolen property databases easier than ever before.
Data Consolidation or Linking Across Jurisdictions
The disparate data loaded into a data warehouse or integrated repository must first be matched and either merged or linked. The Informatica solution for identity resolution in law enforcement performs reliable matching on large data volumes and, despite differing data formats and varying data quality and completeness, supplies a trusted, consolidated, single view of the data, ready for searching.
