Violent Crime Apprehension Program

The Violent Crime Apprehension Program (VICAP) is a specialized database used by law enforcement to track and analyze violent crimes, such as homicides and sexual assaults. It helps agencies identify patterns, link related cases, and share critical information to efficiently apprehend suspects. By collecting detailed data like descriptions, evidence, and modus operandi, VICAP enhances coordination among jurisdictions, improving the chances of solving violent crimes quickly and preventing future offenses.
