Abstract
This chapter describes an academia-government collaboration project aimed to develop a geointelligence capacity in order to insert the geospatial dimension in the information systems and decision making processes of Mexico City’s Public Safety Ministry –a preventive police agency that deals with local jurisdiction crimes. The project was formalized by means of a 3 year contract comprising consultancy, training and technological developement. Framed in the project’s purposes and goals, and as part of its products, processes and protocols identified for the implementation of a Geointelligence Laboratory in the Ministry, a geospatial data infrastructure (GDI) to enable the seamless integration of data from different sources, platforms and systems was implemented. An open-source interactive solution that retrieves and displays geospatial patterns and trends was developed, in order to feed decision making with results from analyses derived from the use of the GDI. Also, models for space and space-time analysis of crime incidence were implemented as part of the analytic processes routinely performed by the Ministry’s internal users of the GDI.
