プレスリリース

Precisely, the global leader in data integrity, today announced that Devon & Cornwall Police have won a prestigious Geospatial World Excellence Award in the category of Public Safety. The UK police force was recognized for its ground-breaking use of geographic information system (GIS) technology for security planning during the 2021 G7 Summit, with MapInfo Pro from Precisely playing an important role to unlock maximum context from geospatial data.

Announced live from the Geospatial World Forum, the internationally acclaimed Excellence Awards recognize exemplary practices in the global geospatial industry. Devon & Cornwall Police are being celebrated for their innovative use of GIS software to enhance safety measures during the annual gathering of policy leaders from seven of the world’s major democracies, hosted in Cornwall, UK during June 2021. The police force combined MapInfo Pro, a powerful desktop mapping solution that unlocks location-based context from data, with third-party 3D visualizations to create a digital twin that enabled precise contingency planning – based on a model that had an accuracy of up to five millimeters.

“The G7 Summit went off without security hitch, with the GIS technology widely credited as being central to its success,” said Robert Goldsmith, GIS and Mapping Manager, Devon & Cornwall Police. “The team are very proud to receive this award and look forward to our continued work with Precisely, harnessing location intelligence to drive even greater opportunities and efficiencies for our police force and for the wider community.”

Precisely received additional recognition during the Geospatial World event with two of its location intelligence experts, Neena Priyanka, PhD, Product Manager, and Amarsh Chaturvedi, Director of Software Development, named in the 2023 50 Rising Stars list. The initiative serves to highlight the outstanding accomplishments of young professionals in the field of geospatial technology as well as its real-world impact on the environment, society, and the economy.
