Analytic Assignment 2 Alden Buric, Heidi Habecker, Tzu-Chi Hsia, Ryan Merckel
Forecasting • Use Historical Data • Use Trends • The Police can use their own data rather than a third party. • For more specific information such as education and income, they can use census data.
Parameters • Most departments already do this but the Police will need to collect information such as: • Date • Type of crime (as specific as possible) • Address and zip code where crime occurred • Age, race, and address of suspect
Trends Using this data, the Police can watch trends over months, type of crime, and in certain zip codes. • For example, they can run an all-crime report across all zip codes and put that data into a scatter-graph to pin-point the largest concentration of crime and the zip codes in which they occur. • They can then run reports that are zip code specific to look at trends month over month by type of crime. • Using these trends will tell them when, and in what zip codes to increase Police presence.
Analytics - Figure out staffing levels - Which zip codes need more officers than others - Cut costs through effective forecasting - Questions? Comments? Concerns?
