Trends in Security Information
The HSD Trendmonitor is designed to provide access to relevant content on various subjects in the safety and security domain, to identify relevant developments and to connect knowledge and organisations. The safety and security domain encompasses a vast number of subjects. Four relevant taxonomies (type of threat or opportunity, victim, source of threat and domain of application) have been constructed in order to visualize all of these subjects. The taxonomies and related category descriptions have been carefully composed according to other taxonomies, European and international standards and our own expertise.
In order to identify safety and security related trends, relevant reports and HSD news articles are continuously scanned, analysed and classified by hand according to the four taxonomies. This results in a wide array of observations, which we call ‘Trend Snippets’. Multiple Trend Snippets combined can provide insights into safety and security trends. The size of the circles shows the relative weight of the topic, the filters can be used to further select the most relevant content for you. If you have an addition, question or remark, drop us a line at info@securitydelta.nl.

Investments are made to combat subversive crime
The Hague scale-up Meld een Vermoeden focuses on combating subversion: crime where the boundary between the upper and lower world is blurred. This can involve, for example, vacant restaurants, shop premises and homes that function as a cover for money laundering, illegal prostitution or drug trafficking. Their invisibility makes this form of crime difficult to tackle. Cases are based on suspicions and gut feelings, which are not stored in police systems.
The organisation is the first to make it possible to map out this so-called 'soft information' and to automatically enrich the report with, among other things, cadastral information, the WOZ value and the registered businesses at the address. With the investment, the scale-up wants to develop the platform into a total solution that supports municipalities from first suspicion to legal prosecution.
