We are pleased to announce that we will begin validation of the CRIME NABI crime prediction system with the Military Police of the State of Tocantins, Federative Republic of Brazil.
To date, we have developed a crime prediction system, CRIME NABI, based on our crime prediction algorithms, including our own highly accurate and fast methods. In 2023, we established a subsidiary in the Federative Republic of Brazil to support the introduction of our products to police and government agencies in the country, where there is a high need for public safety issues, and we have been conducting verification with several police agencies.
A new partnership agreement has been signed with the Military Police of the State of Tocantins, Brazil, to conduct a validation of the application of CRIME NABI-based solutions to police operations, which will begin in December 2024.
Tocantins is a state located in northern Brazil, newly created in 1988 when the northern part of the state of Goias was separated. It is one of the newest states in Brazil and is known for its well-planned state capital, Palmas. It is characterized by abundant nature, beautiful landscapes, and a unique culture. As a young state, Tocantins faces challenges in the areas of education, healthcare, and infrastructure. However, it has great potential in the tourism and agriculture sectors, which are attracting both domestic and foreign investment.
Theft, robbery, violent crime in urban areas (especially around Palmas), and environmental crimes such as illegal deforestation are problems, and security forces continue to crack down on this area, which is sometimes used as a drug distribution route.

◆Target Product
The product we plan to use for this verification is the “Hotspot Policing Tool” using CRIME NABI.
The “Hotspot Policing Tool” makes it easy to perform Hotspot Policing, which is academically recognized for its usefulness. By incorporating the crime data owned by each police agency, anyone can easily identify Hotspots based on crime prediction results, even if they are not an expert in data analysis. Efficient security activities are possible by creating patrol plans based on the detected Hotspots.
