IBM to help Rochester police prevent crime

Places like New York City, Memphis and Las Vegas are all using intelligence-led policing methods.

So why Rochester?

According to Rochester Police Lieutenant Tim Heroff, the needs here are very similar to those in larger cities.

Every day officers are responding to several different scenarios, so with the information police already have the software can: identify patterns, link criminals who may be working together, as well as forecast crime "hot spots."

The software is called IBM InfoSphere Identity Insight.
