Network Mapping Tool

ForceMetrics has launched Network Graph, designed to help law enforcement agencies identify and investigate organized retail crime, gang activity, and other coordinated criminal networks. This interactive investigative tool maps individuals directly connected to a selected person and visually displays their associations based on shared events, using only existing case leads and records data from within an agency’s own systems of record—not open-source data. It allows investigators to spot hidden relationships, identify clustered groups, and connect cases across jurisdictions, helping to distinguish between potentially related and unrelated incidents. Integrating this capability into existing workflows can enhance situational awareness and reduce investigative time.
