Abstract
The budget challenges the University of North Carolina at Wilmington (UNCW) faced over the last few years and the projected increase in student population impose serious challenges on the UNCW Police Department (UPD). The UPD is expected to improve its activity and presence with limited funds on a growing campus. In order to make the right decisions, it is essential for the UPD to understand crime and crime prevention resources across similar campuses. This paper describes the process of developing and implementing a multi-university data analytics solution for the UPD. This solution provides interactive visualization, univariate statistics, and comparative analytics among thirty-eight university police departments. The paper provides a detailed explanation of the data collection process, technologies utilized, system architecture, and challenges encountered during the development process. Additionally, the paper explores statistical methods for analyzing data.
