The use of GIS for law enforcement and traffic safety within Alabama was reviewed as of the summer of 2005. Emphasis was placed on the integration of GIS with CARE, and the ability to generate a map of high crash locations for any type of crash. Additional applications involved a GIS comparison of crash locations with locations where electronic citations were being issued in order to move law enforcement resources to areas where they would be more effective.
