When public safety and national security personnel face a crisis, lives are at stake. Sometimes the nation's survival is at risk. Government security agencies around the world handle a wide variety of data, ranging from criminal arrest reports to sensitive and highly classified intelligence to weather or geospatial imagery. Knowledge gained through careful analysis, organization, and dissemination of this information can protect citizens and help avert disaster.
