Crime Prevention
Police services face a
difficult task in deciding how to allocate personnel and resources
so as to best combat crime in their jurisdictions. Business geographics
can help police position resources effectively by identifying
patterns in criminal activity.
Areas of High Criminal
Activity
Information on where crimes
are occurring, and at what times of the day, week, month, and
year, can help police services maximize the impact their presence
makes on criminal activity. Combined with information on community
factors such as demographics, incomes, occupations, and family
types, information on crime can ensure police services make the
best plans possible. After all, with business geographics on their
side, they have the best information possible.
