Law Enforcement Solutions

When a missing person report comes in, responding officers need immediate intelligence to guide their search efforts effectively.

The urban search challenge

Missing person cases in urban environments present unique challenges. Officers must quickly assess numerous possible locations whilst coordinating with multiple units and managing public safety concerns.

Traditional approaches rely heavily on manual coordination and experience-based decision making, leading to delayed responses and suboptimal resource allocation.

Footstep for Police Services

Integrate predictive intelligence directly into existing command and control systems for immediate deployment guidance.

API-First Design
Development-ready interface

API-first architecture

Our RESTful API provides prediction data that can be integrated by your technical teams into existing operational workflows as needed.

Urban Modelling
City environment analysis

Urban environment expertise

Specialised models for urban environments consider transport links, public spaces, commercial areas, and residential patterns unique to city searches.

Multi-Agency Response
Coordinated operations

Multi-agency coordination

Share predictions across agencies and services. Coordinate with fire services, ambulance services, and volunteer organisations seamlessly.

Common deployment scenarios

Missing vulnerable adults

Elderly persons with dementia or adults with learning disabilities require immediate response. Footstep factors in mobility limitations and likely destinations based on cognitive patterns.

Vulnerable Persons
Specialist response protocols

Missing children cases

Time-critical responses for missing children benefit from immediate area prioritisation. Our models consider school routes, play areas, and family connections for rapid deployment.

Child Protection
Priority response areas

High-risk missing persons

Cases involving mental health concerns or suicide risk require immediate, targeted responses. Predictions focus on high-risk locations and known behavioural patterns.

Crisis Response
Mental health considerations

Large event security

During major events, festivals, or gatherings, separated individuals need quick reunification. Predictive mapping helps security teams focus search efforts efficiently.

Operational benefits

Faster response times

Reduce time from initial report to first unit deployment. Predictions available within seconds of incident creation.

Resource optimisation

Deploy officers to highest-probability areas first. Maximise coverage whilst minimising resource expenditure.

Evidence-based decisions

Replace intuition-based deployment with data-driven intelligence. Justify resource allocation with probability analysis.

Improved outcomes

Higher success rates in locating missing persons through systematic, probability-based search strategies.

Real-time updates

Update predictions as new information becomes available. Redirect resources dynamically based on search progress.

Training integration

Use historical predictions and outcomes for training scenarios. Improve decision-making skills through data analysis.
