Mapping plug-ins can help with Crime Analysis

Crime Analysis units regularly put together crime maps of neighbourhoods for daily patrol and command briefings. This new plug-in can help add some life to these maps.

"MAPublisher® cartography software seamlessly integrates over 40 GIS tools into the Adobe Illustrator environment to help you create maps the way you want, how you want. Import the most widely used GIS data formats, including those from ESRI, MapInfo, MicroStation, AutoCAD, Google and the U.S. Government. All GIS data attributes and geographic parameters are maintained, are fully accessible and editable. Cartography is now faster, easier and better than it has ever been."

It's worth a look.

Enjoy.
