Abstract

A data mining (DM) integrated decision support system (DSS) is suggested to improve the performance of the DSS implemented in a police organisation. A prototype of the suggested system is provided. The paper provides an insight into DM-DSS integrated systems in the literature, and uses the results of the investigation as a basis for a suggested system tailored against the particularity of Abu Dhabi (AD) Police Organisation in the United Arab Emirates. It is believed that in general DM processes are demanding in terms of time and other resources. Hence, it is suggested that the process be reduced in order to accommodate to the particularity of AD Police in terms of size and current system performance. The system is perceived on this basis.
