The Policing Lab

The Policing Lab seeks to assist law enforcement agencies with strategically optimizing their data and analytical capabilities. We assemble and deploy teams with specific experiences and perspectives to address unique agency needs. We focus on opportunities to improve information sharing, tactical and strategic analysis, operational effectiveness, and investigative functions. Through a unique working relationship with the University of Chicago Crime Lab, The Policing Lab seeks to leverage the resources and expertise of one of the leading research institutions in the world to understand observed phenomena and test the efficacy of pilot programs, and then use that information to scale solutions in both urban and suburban environments. The Policing Lab approaches agency support with holistic, strategic application of ideas that have long been proven effective. Our leaders and associates have worked directly with major cities such as Miami, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Amsterdam to encourage and enable policing innovation through our diverse, specialized, and evidence-based work.
