Why is crime analysis an important component of directed patrol?
What will be an ideal response?
Management needs to know where to send the directed patrol units to prevent crime as well as arrest and investigate crimes that have taken place. With all vehicles equipped with global positioning and mapping, management can know where these assets are at any time on a computer map of the jurisdiction, including out of service units. Comstat, which is covered in detail in this chapter, provides fundamental real time analysis of crime incidents and patterns of location, type, and time of the incident. Computer programs can combine the global positions data from police vehicles and crime mapping and provide a real time crime analysis for management. This is proactive planning, analysis and patrolling in its finest moments.
