There is no question that the advancement of science has been good for humanity as a whole.
Using math to improve the effectiveness of the police is a good thing. This effort - however well intended maybe - would throw out the baby with the bathwater.

Using math to improve the effectiveness of police is not necessarily a good thing, because this kind of works really works to perpetuate proactive policing and over-policing, as well as encodes bias.

This depends on how you define "effectiveness". E.g. one of the measures of effectiveness should include reducing the intrusiveness of polling, particularly on groups that tend to be subjected to overpolicing.
