Sheriffs Use New Data Analytics to Reduce Crime

Published

on

PLYMOUTH, Mass., Jan. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — BI² Technologies, a national leader in providing biometric identification technologies, today announced the nation-wide launch of Scientia CJI™, a data analytics system that helps Sheriffs more effectively use actionable intelligence and insight from their existing data to reduce crime in their communities.

 

Scientia™ CJI Reports, is a data analytics system that helps Sheriffs target resources based on insight from their data.

Scientia is a Latin word that means insight and knowledge, based on demonstrable and reproducible data.

Every day, Sheriff’s Offices across the country enter valuable Criminal Justice Information (CJI) into their Jail Management Systems but often do not have the capability to readily access or fully utilize that data and information.

Scientia CJI™ helps Sheriffs’ Offices uncover meaningful patterns, trends, knowledge and – most importantly – provides insights about offenders in their communities from the Criminal Justice Information data the Sheriff’s staff collects each day.

With a limited rollout to selected Sheriffs’ Offices in 2023, Scientia CJI™ has provided analysis on those issues that matter most to Sheriffs, such as recidivism rates, drug sales, domestic violence, or retail theft in their counties. Scientia CJI™ can also provide accurate data on health issues in their facilities such as:

HepatitisMeningitisMumpsStaphAlcoholismDrug AddictionMonkeypoxBipolar DisorderDepressionAutismPTSDSchizophrenia

BI2 Technologies’ expert data team provides customized analysis, utilizing the past 3 to 5 years of CJI data, to help Sheriffs more efficiently and effectively run their operations by using the data they own and providing it how and when they need it most.

Sheriff Pat Labat of Fulton County Georgia was one of the first to utilize this powerful data analytics system. “I trust the data and I am a proponent of really understanding the data. That’s the important part,” said Sheriff Labat. “It’s one thing to have the data. It’s another thing to make it plain, and then have people understand it. This is how we change lives, that’s how we change communities and get better. The data speaks for itself.”

The Scientia CJI™ system:

Gathers the relevant data from the Sheriff’s CJI database;Explores the data to understand its characteristics;Cleans, transforms and organizes the data into a readable form;Provides insights to help Sheriffs and their staff improve decision making and resource allocation.

Scientia™ provides statistics on issues that matter to Sheriffs, such as:

Gang ActivityViolent CrimesTop Charges Per YearWeapons ChargesDrug ChargesRecidivism RatesDomestic ViolenceHomelessnessMost prevalent crimesCOVID-19 StatisticsAnd many more

Reports are customized to specific department needs, including:

Basic monthly, quarterly or yearly PDF reportsIssue Specific monthly, quarterly or yearly PDF reportsAutomated on-line dashboard reportsCustomized one-off, ad hoc reports

The Scientia CJI™ system allows Sheriffs to collaborate with other law enforcement agencies across the nation to help them understand and evaluate trends that are occurring in their county.

The importance of data sharing was cited by Columbia County New York Sheriff Donald Krapf in his use of Scientia™. “Law enforcement today is a data driven field”, said Sheriff Krapf. “We need to have this to find out what we’re doing wrong and find out what we’re doing right, and we can share the information with our community.”

Scientia CJI™ is a powerful tool for extracting valuable insights from data that is owned by each Sheriff’s Office, providing the ability to uncover hidden patterns that can lead to informed decision-making, more effective resource allocation, and reductions in crime.

Haloid Solutions Expands Access to Radio Equipment by Offering Flexible Financing and Leasing Solutions Named HaloidFLEX

Published

on

By

NEW YORK, April 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As part of Haloid Solutions’ long-term commitment to helping businesses and municipalities acquire critical communications equipment despite budgetary constraints, Haloid now offers specialized financing and leasing programs through its HaloidFLEX program.

Designed to ensure that companies and governments have the equipment they need without costly capital expenditures outlays, HaloidFLEX offers financing for equipment purchased directly from manufacturers or local radio dealers. HaloidFLEX financing offers zero percent and low-interest options as well as predictable monthly payments for qualified buyers. HaloidFLEX clients can even opt to incorporate extended support services and protections into their financing to prepare for accidents, theft, or equipment losses. This gives companies peace of mind with one low monthly payment.

For organizations that don’t want or need to own equipment long-term, the HaloidFLEX leasing program offers similar benefits with potential tax advantages. Companies can lease brand new equipment and upgrade or return it at lease-end as needed. For companies seeking flexible options – or those that are interested in upgrading to the latest technology as it becomes available – leasing makes perfect sense.

One of the added benefits of each program is that HaloidFLEX allows clients to bundle services and protections that would normally be billed separately. Accidental damage, theft, and loss protections can be put in place, so that there’s never a lapse in communication if a radio fails. Extended warranties are also available upon request, so companies can customize their financing and protection to fit their budget and safeguard their equipment simultaneously.

According to a Haloid Solutions spokesperson, “Bundling expenses simply makes sense. It reduces the need for multiple policies and flexes with organizations to ensure critical communication equipment is available when needed while guaranteeing that the company’s investment is protected for the life of the equipment.”

HaloidFLEX financing and leasing programs are available to qualified businesses and municipalities nationwide. To learn more or request a customized quote, visit HaloidSolutions.com.

Haloid Solutions is the go-to resource for U.S. businesses and municipalities in search of financing and leasing for two-way radios, walkie talkies, communications equipment, accessories, and services.

Vipboss Marks Earth Day with Renewed Commitment to Green Energy Solutions

Published

By

NEW YORK, April 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As Earth Day draws global attention to environmental responsibility, Vipboss, a specialist manufacturer and developer of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery packs for energy storage and mobility applications, is underscoring its long‑term commitment to sustainable energy practices through its Environmental Advocacy. This advocacy is devoid of ornate language; its inspiration stems from the brand’s unwavering conviction in LiFePO4 batteries as a green energy solution. To align this message with practical action, the brand is also running a themed sales campaign on its official website during April 18th to 30th. It highlights how practical product solutions, rather than abstract concepts, can support cleaner energy use in everyday life.

Across the world, energy consumption patterns are undergoing rapid change. Households, outdoor users, and light‑mobility sectors are increasingly seeking energy systems that are safe, sustainable, and low‑emission. Within this shift, LiFePO4 batteries have emerged as a preferred technology for clean‑energy applications. Their long service life, high safety profile, and absence of cobalt, which is an element associated with higher environmental and ethical risks, position them as a responsible choice in the global transition toward greener power.

LiFePO4 technology forms the foundation of Vipboss’s approach to sustainable energy. Its extended cycle life reduces the frequency of battery replacement, lowering resource consumption and easing the environmental burden associated with disposal. The material’s inherent stability also minimizes the risk of thermal runaway, offering a safer experience in homes, recreational vehicles, and public environments. In practical use cases such as home backup systems, RV travel, and golf‑course operations, LiFePO4 batteries deliver efficient storage and stable output, helping reduce reliance on fossil‑fuel‑based energy sources and supporting lower‑carbon lifestyles.

Vipboss’s environmental advocacy extends beyond the technical advantages of its products. The brand promotes responsible energy use as an integral part of sustainable living, emphasizing that product design and informed application must work together to achieve meaningful environmental outcomes. As a provider of energy solutions for home, travel, and leisure scenarios, Vipboss continues to participate in the long‑term process of green transformation through ongoing technological refinement and product evolution.

Earth Day serves as a reminder that lasting environmental impact is built through small, consistent actions. Looking ahead, Vipboss will continue advancing safer, more durable, and more efficient energy products that support individuals and families in adopting more sustainable energy habits. Through these efforts, the brand aims to contribute enduring value to the wider adoption of clean energy and the collective pursuit of a more sustainable future.
