Hot Spot Policing

Hot Spot Policing is a law enforcement strategy that focuses resources on areas with higher-than-average crime rates. By identifying these specific locations, police can increase patrols, surveillance, and community engagement to prevent and reduce criminal activity more effectively. This targeted approach aims to use resources efficiently, leading to safer neighborhoods without widespread policing everywhere. It relies on data analysis to pinpoint problem areas, enabling officers to proactively address issues before they escalate.
