How the Merced Police Department is Using ESRI Products to Improve Efficiency

This session will demonstrate how the Merced Police Department is using ESRI products to streamline processes and provide data and statistics for easier and instant access to department personnel. By using Survey123, Insights, Dashboards, StoryMaps, and ArcGIS Online, the MPD has a wealth of information available to them that used to require a request to the Crime Analyst and then queries built. The MPD also uses ESRI products to interact with citizens via their department webpage. This session will be partially PowerPoint, but mostly live navigation of the tools deployed to make life easier for MPD personnel and City of Merced Citizens.
