2024 Data Analytics for Law Enforcement Survey Report 9 Data Analysis Solutions Used by Law Enforcement Only 25.5% of LEAs use one central solution for analyzing their investigation data (Figure 2). Most organizations use multiple solutions, making it harder for them to connect the dots between disparate data sources, and increasing the chance of overlooking crucial investigative insights and hidden patterns. When looking more closely specifically at FIUs (Financial Intelligence Units), 69% use 3 or more separate solutions to analyze their data (Figure 3). This is likely due to a combination of challenges, including a wide range of various data formats that need to be analyzed, and the limitations of the tools currently being used to interpret them. Again, this increases the odds of important data falling through the cracks, resulting either in missing or inaccurate information that could impede the ability of FIUs to resolve cases effectively.
