Social Media Solution for Law Enforcement and Public SafetyGeofeedia, the leader in location-based social media discovery, offers an indispensable tool for law enforcement professionals.

A new force in monitoring and surveillance

The rapid growth of communication taking place on social media is a trend that law enforcement and public safety officials can no longer ignore.

For the average citizen, social media serves as a way to communicate with friends, document surroundings, and conduct business. But social media has a dark side, where it can be used to facilitate, report, and foreshadow criminal activity. Teens publicly threaten and bully classmates, drug dealers post pictures of their stashes, and violent offenders provide important insight into their emotional well-being. An increasingly large number of these social media posts are being generated from smartphones and other devices that automatically attach geographic coordinates identifying the user’s location.

The implications are profound for law enforcement. Social media provides a whole new way for police to keep their ear to the ground in their precincts. In fact, many precincts are now hiring “Social Media Officers” who are responsible not only for community outreach, but also monitoring social media to help keep citizens safe.

Armed with the proper tools to discover this valuable social media quickly and efficiently, law enforcement professionals will be better equipped to anticipate, investigate, and stop criminal activity.

But amidst the sea of information coming from these social media platforms. How do you find information relevant to your jurisdiction? How do you separate the signal from the noise? Geofeedia can help.

Geofeedia is a location-based social media discovery platform that uses a proprietary algorithm to find

“geotagged” data to help law enforcement and public safety professionals fight crime and keep citizens safe. Geofeedia currently aggregates posts from five sources:

Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Picasa, and Flickr.

Building a search and reviewing the results is easy.

• Our GeoSearch product allows you to draw precise boundaries and then view social media posts as pins on a map or in a collage view.

• GeoStreamer allows you to monitor up to five locations on a single screen with real-time vertical streaming.

• And Geofeedia’s soon-to-be-released Monitoring and Analytics platform will provide a dashboard view allowing you to monitor trends and cut and slice your data in innumerable ways.

How is Geofeedia being used today?

Monitoring and Listening

Geofeedia is a must for every police command center. With Geofeedia you can:

• Monitor areas for chatter that will help you keep your finger on the pulse of a neighborhood.

• Monitor locations for keywords related to drugs, weapons, or gang-oriented language.

• Establish regional activity levels over time and schedule alerts when activity in an area trends away from its baseline.

Locate Citizens at the Scene of Crime

With Geofeedia’s monitoring services, data from your jurisdiction will be monitored and archived 24/7. When a crime takes place, especially something like a shooting, eyewitnesses are hard to find. By monitoring a fixed area with Geofeedia, you can go back in time and search to see who was tweeting or sharing imagery from the scene before, during, and after the crime takes place.

Events

When large groups of people gather, Geofeedia can monitor an event at a hyper-local level. Keep an eye out for keywords, look for illegal activity, and spot crimes before they happen.

Crisis

Geofeedia is being used to locate citizens in targeted areas and relay important information during crisis situations. Communicate with citizens to tell them to evacuate, stay put, or otherwise take action to ensure their safety.

Disaster

During natural disasters, Geofeedia is leveraged in Emergency Operation Centers (“EOC’s”) and by First Responders to locate victims, survey damaged areas, and communicate action plans.

Schools and Campuses

Students are the most prolific users of social media, making high schools and college campuses rich monitoring environments, which equates to even more actionable information for law enforcement.
