Harris County, Texas, the third-largest county in the U.S., has enhanced its law enforcement investigations by using Elastic to streamline data searches and improve accuracy. Previously, investigators faced challenges with time-consuming and error-prone processes due to siloed systems, requiring manual searches across various databases like court records, RMS, and CAD. To address this, Shing H. Lin, CTO of Harris County’s Central Technology Services, developed the Law Enforcement Network Search (LENS) tool, which integrates Elastic's capabilities to consolidate data searches. This tool allows for efficient cross-referencing of information, providing a comprehensive view of data such as 911 call transcripts, incident records, and arrest details in a single search. Leveraging machine learning, LENS also recommends similar cases, significantly reducing investigation time by focusing on relevant information. Additionally, a map-based search facilitates localized data retrieval, enabling law enforcement to access critical information swiftly and effectively.
