WHO WE ARE
Setting the Crime Risk Standard
Meet the leaders in crime risk assessment.
Who We Are
In the 1980s, businesses faced a challenge — one-size-fits-all security legislation that failed to address varying crime risks. Criminologist Dr. Robert Figlio and statistician Steven Aurand recognized the flaw in this model. They gathered experts from academia and business to develop a better solution: a location-based, data-driven approach to crime risk assessment.
The success of this work led to the founding of CAP Index, now the trusted leader in crime risk analytics for businesses and government agencies in the U.S., U.K., Mexico, and Canada. Our insights help organizations across industries optimize their security programs, mitigate risks, improve operational efficiencies, and better protect their businesses.
What We Do
Whether you’re selecting new sites, planning security measures for existing locations, or safeguarding team members off-site, CAP Index provides actionable crime risk intelligence to elevate your security programs.
From our address-specific crime risk reports to our interactive mapping tools and customized analytics models, we power our industry-leading solutions with the CAP Index scoring methodology. With its roots in criminological theory, our proprietary algorithm brings together crime and loss statistics with more than 100 socio-economic, demographic, and environmental risk factors to accurately determine crime risks at any given location.
Why We Lead
CAP Index is always at the forefront of geospatial crime analytics. With over 35 years as industry founders and leaders, we’re not stuck in the past — we continue to propel the field forward with advances in technology, analytics, and intelligence.
Today, our Research and Innovation Team leverages its expertise in criminology, sociology, data science, and demography to enhance the quality and depth of our data and develop innovative solutions that address both longstanding and emerging security challenges. Our commitment to cutting-edge research means we continuously evolve alongside the changing landscape of crime and loss prevention.
