Using bespoke software
and expert analysis,
Poliscope Local modelling gives forces –
1
Modelling & forecasting
We build a model based on your current operations and performance, allowing you to look forward and forecast changes in total demand, key drivers of demand and outcomes, and understand how individual, team and force workloads may change in the future.
2
Deep dives
We explore key areas of demand and performance, using our model to help you to develop better ways to manage workload and improve outcomes. This analysis covers the performance of the whole force or focuses on specific teams, crime types and policy changes over time.
3
Scenario testing
We test out how changes in deployments or resourcing could affect force capacity and capability, and we identify what changes in process, prioritisation or policy may be required to achieve specific outcomes on particular crime types.

➝ Higher levels of trust, confidence and influence
Poliscope's benefits
The Poliscope method
1
We take 5 years of crime and control room data and use bespoke software to break it down into 50+ categories of crime and non-crime demand
2
We gather qualitative insights through listening to and surveying officers and staff and use these to translate volume of demand into practical workload
3
We incorporate workload pathways and outcomes into the model and apply a range of statistical methods to forecast future workload and performance
4
We refine this data-led forecasting with our in-house policing experts and share with forces for review, feedback and challenge
5
We place the final model in our online testing environment where forces can alter deployments, screening rates and other inputs to explore the impact on workload and outcomes
Case studies
In 2019, Nottinghamshire Police (like many forces in England and Wales) faced a perfect storm of increasing demand and declining outcomes.
Bedfordshire Police used Poliscope modelling and forecasting to support their case for £8million of additional Home Office funding.
