International Business Machines Corp. announced that it is working with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) to help improve the city's public safety and secure information sharing with the agency's regional partners. Used by more than 3,000 law enforcement agencies across the U.S., IBM's i2 crime analytics software will enable LVMPD officers to accelerate their investigations by enabling them to make non-obvious connections based on information that was previously spread across the department. The addition of IBM's crime-fighting software will enable LVMPD to quickly organize and rapidly analyze vast quantities of seemingly unrelated data currently housed in four disparate databases.
