n this research, we ad
dress problems associated with information without spatial context in public security,
specifically
in the Public Ministry of Rio Grande do Norte (PMRN). We have shown that information without spatial context
makes the investigative analysis more difficult
, increasing investigation time and weakening strategies. To address this problem,
we investigate th
e use of geo
-
technology in the context of public management, with emphasis on public security management. We
have identified in the literature the significa
nt use of geo
-
technologies in processing public security data in criminal areas, but not
in civil an
d administrative areas. We have explored this gap, structuring and developing a geo
-
visualizer of the occurrences
recorded in the PMRN. Structured from inte
rviews with prosecutors, and developed through Google Maps API, the geo
-
visualizer
contributes to: i
) to correlate (visually) investigations by proximity; ii) reduce the time in the displacements in the work areas; and
(iii) increase the institution’s inve
stigative capacity
