Project One Simmons 2 Project One Essentially, predictive policing involves gathering information from many sources, evaluating it, and applying the findings to predict, stop, and react to crimes in the future with greater efficiency. In order to determine where to station police or to identify people who are allegedly more likely to perpetrate or become victims of a crime, we use computer systems to evaluate vast amounts of data, including historical crime statistics (Lau 2020). Crime maps are a useful tool for law enforcement and the general public to see where certain crimes are occurring in their community and surrounding locations. When using a crime map, certain categories of crime can be filtered so that only those crimes are displayed. You may see the crimes that have occurred in your neighborhood by zooming in. Using crime mapping, law enforcement may determine not only the locations of crimes but also their frequency and peak hours of occurrence. Because of your worries regarding the recent break-ins in the community, we have employed crime mapping in this case to try to assist us. By using predictive policing, we have discovered a trend that may help us apprehend these offenders. We also think that we will be able to maintain the community's self-sacrifice by using crime mapping (Jany, 2022). Reducing the risks and the crime rate in our community is our primary objective when utilizing predictive policing. Knowing the locations of high-risk regions and the peak hours of crime is a useful tool that police can use to determine when and where to deploy additional resources to support the community. Our pattern is based on crime map data from prior burglaries. This is beneficial because, if we solely concentrated on the locations of crimes, police might patrol such regions around the clock rather than just during specific hours. It saves money, time, and manpower.
Project One Simmons 3 We collected fingerprints from the crime scenes in order to compare them and determine whether we have the same suspects in case there are any further burglaries. This kind of data was used to support our predictive policing strategy. Additionally, we have seen that every house in the burglaries that have been reported to us has had its back door forced open. These burglaries, as far as we can tell, often occur during business hours, Monday through Friday, when no one is home. The police chief has ordered officers to patrol the regions between 0830 and 1330 on weekdays in order to deter further burglaries (Fritzvold, 2022). In addition to the many instruments at their disposal, the police can use them to help deter crime and apprehend offenders. Having access to the fingerprint database comes to mind first. This is a fantastic database since it allows the police to enter fingerprints from a crime scene and run them through the system; if no matches are found, the prints remain in the database as unknown. This means that if someone is later arrested and their prints match those, they can also prosecute them with that crime. Additionally, officers have access to DNA analysis, which enables them to identify the precise person to whom the DNA belongs. It can even determine whether the DNA is animal or human. In order to determine if an automobile is stolen or not, the police also have access to license plate readers. Additionally, it enables offices to determine who owns the car and whether or not that individual is subject to warrants (Fritzvold, 2022). Predictive policing has become increasingly popular among American law enforcement since 2008 as a means of combating many types of crimes in local areas. The city of Los Angeles employs a number of predictive policing initiatives, including Operation LASER. Operation LASER was designed to use the SARA problem-solving paradigm (Scanning, Analysis, Response, and Assessment) to assist in lowering gun-related violence in particular communities
