Crime Analysis for Public Safety (CAPS)

Crime Analysis for Public Safety (CAPS) is a systematic approach used by law enforcement to identify, understand, and respond to crime patterns and trends. By collecting and analyzing data such as location, time, and type of crimes, CAPS helps agencies allocate resources efficiently, predict potential issues, and develop strategies to prevent crime. It facilitates informed decision-making, enhances community safety, and improves overall policing effectiveness through a data-driven understanding of criminal activity.
