Enforsys, Svivot receive BIRD grant to develop law enforcement decision-making solution
Knowledge is power, and two companies, one American, one Israeli, with products aiming to assist law enforcement and antiterror authorities prevent nefarious activities — and, if not prevent, help solve them — are given a grant to merge their solution to create a more powerful decision-making tool
Roseland, New Jersey-based Enforsys, a specialist in public safety software for first responders, and Netanya, Israel-based Svivot, a provider of software solutions which focus on data analysis for law enforcement agencies, have been awarded a joint U.S.-Israel Bi-national Industrial Research & Development (BIRD) grant for the development of an information sharing and intelligence analysis system. The project aims to help public safety and homeland security agencies throughout the world prevent — and if not prevent, then solve — crimes and terrorist acts by making quicker and more accurate decisions. This project is one of eleven new projects which received funding of some $10 million by the BIRD Foundation.
The grant was awarded to the two companies to develop investigative tool sets for any intelligence system to assist law enforcement and criminal justice agencies in crime prevention, intelligence sharing and predictive analysis. The two companies say that the joint project is the first complete solution encompassing all aspects of information sharing and intelligence analysis for state and county data fusion centers, as well as regional and municipal sharing and analysis of information related to law enforcement, criminal justice, corrections, and other public safety domains. Svivot already offers its powerful SN-Sphere technology for identifying, analyzing, and tracking of criminal and terrorist networks, and the solution will be joined with Enforsys’ I-3 Exchange product for sharing both incident-based and intelligence information.
