AICAMS: artificial intelligence crime analysis and management system
Expert systems and artificial intelligence technologies have a significant role to play in the development of tools to support police operations. Systems have been successfully demonstrated in the areas of breaking and entering, criminal profiling, tracking serial criminals and others. In this paper, we describe the development of a system that will support police investigations in several crime areas. The methodology has been adapted from that used in several North American breaking and entering projects, to meet the requirements of the Hong Kong police. The system is initially rule-based, with provisions for investigating machine-learning and neural network techniques to improve performance and makes extensive use of existing data sources. The development of the initial demonstration system is described and the methodology is discussed.
