AH Datalytics has launched a “Real-Time” crime index, (RTCI), online. (access index). AH Datalytics launched the real-time crime index in an effort to “aid in the need for a faster understanding and visualization of national, state, and local crime trends.” AH Datalytics acknowledges certain crime data is under-reported to police and agencies can fail to provide complete or accurate information. However, RTCI aims to collect all available data and report it in real time, with monthly updates, while allowing users of the RTCI to access data, local, state, or national, which is updated in real time. Using the RTCI, users can view data by month or yearly periods reported by law enforcement agencies.
