As problems become more complex, ArcGIS enriched with AI is the key technology to meet the moment. In this presentation, we will show AI in ArcGIS in two powerful categories: GeoAI, where advanced models and techniques automate large-scale data extraction and rapidly deliver deeper insights; and AI Assistants, creating intuitive, intelligent experiences that empower GIS users and significantly boost productivity. Together, these approaches help users innovate and achieve more with ArcGIS.

Hot spot policing involves the targeted deployment of police patrols to the areas where crime is known to concentrate. Since 2024, all cities in England and Wales have been implementing hot spots policing to reduce violence. This presentation will illustrate the extent to which violence is concentrated, how this is then used to inform where patrols are targeted, what officers are required to do when on patrol in crime hot spots and the impact of these patrols. The presentation will describe how analysis has influenced further improvements to the timing, dosage and precision of the patrols.
