The high-profile challenges in policing are high harm but low frequency, such as counter terrorism and organised crime, for which structures and processes are broadly in place. The greater challenge lies in the “core business” of high-volume incidents, from missing persons reports to small property losses to minor violence. Big Data and advanced analytical techniques can provide a legitimate approach to improved decision making, focusing police resources where they can do the most good. In collaboration with the Cambridge Institute of Criminology, the Kent Police are increasingly using Evidence-Based Investigative Tools (EBITs) to prioritize cases by the level of harm they entail and the likelihood that police action can be effective.
