National Crime Prevention Week is a reminder that stopping crime doesn’t start at the scene, it begins with preparation, awareness, and the right tools. Today, agencies across the country face a common challenge: data is abundant, but insights are often scattered and slow to arrive. That’s where ForceMetrics Velocity™ steps in.

At ForceMetrics, we know that in order to prevent crime, it’s about being proactive, not reactive. Our platform delivers the tools agencies need to connect data, see trends early, and act on insights that can make a measurable difference in communities.

Turning Data → Into Prevention

Every agency has access to data, but too often it lives in disconnected systems. The ForceMetrics Velocity™ platform unifies that information, breaking down silos and helping agencies uncover the full picture. For instance, the Network Graph is an interactive, visual way to explore connections between people in Velocity–mapping individuals directly connected to the selected person and providing clarity that goes beyond static list views. With our tools, decision-makers can quickly identify patterns, spot emerging risks, and deploy resources where they’re needed most…before issues escalate.

Actionable Insights, Not Just Reports

Velocity™ goes beyond simple dashboards and gives frontline staff and leadership real-time, actionable insights they can trust and build strategy from. FMStat, within the Velocity platform, is a powerful evolution of CompStat that transforms how agencies understand and respond to emerging trends. Whether it’s identifying a rise in certain offenses, recognizing geographic hot spots, or monitoring response effectiveness, our tools empower agencies to move from “what happened” to “what’s next.”
