Hot Spots Policing

Hot Spot Policing is a strategy where law enforcement concentrates resources and efforts on small areas, known as "hot spots," where a high number of crimes frequently occur. The goal is to reduce criminal activity by increasing police presence, surveillance, and community engagement in these specific locations. By focusing on these high-crime areas, police aim to prevent offenses before they happen and improve safety for residents. This targeted approach allows for more efficient use of resources compared to broad patrols across larger areas.
