The Huddle- Process – Interactive Discussions & Learning Zone

Cumbria Police is leading a pioneering approach to road safety through a data-led strategy that harnesses the power of geospatial intelligence.

In close collaboration with Ordnance Survey and other UK police forces, this initiative focuses on identifying high-risk locations, understanding patterns of harm, and deploying targeted interventions that save lives. By combining operational insight with authoritative mapping data, the strategy enables smarter decision-making and resource allocation. It exemplifies how cross-agency collaboration and location intelligence can transform public safety, making roads safer not just in Cumbria, but across the country.
