Abstract

Abstract A system for correlating crime incidents with the location of a subject in which crime incident data containing information about the location and time of at least one crime and subject location data containing information about the locations at various times of a plurality of subjects are provided to a correlation database of a computer, whereupon the correlation computer correlates the crime incident data and the subject location data to determine if each of said subjects are likely suspects of said crime based upon whether each of the subjects were proximate to the location of the crime at the time of the crime.
