2027 Beyond the Desktop: Web GIS for Crime Analysis Webinar Series

This 12-session webinar series explores the use of web-based GIS tools and applications to support crime analysis and law enforcement operations. Sessions progress from foundational concepts in ArcGIS Online and Enterprise into web mapping, spatial analysis, dashboards, field data collection, and interactive applications, concluding with real-time GIS capabilities and practical strategies for implementing Web GIS within an agency.
