Tactical Crime Analysis - correct answer ✔✔ Short-term development of patrol and investigative
priorities and deployment of resources.
Goal - to identify short-term patterns of activity. Different types of crime patterns are linked by
activity type, place, offender, victim, property, and MO
Tactical Crime Analysis - 4 Techniques & Processes - correct answer ✔✔ 1. Repeat incident
analysis - use CFS data to identify locations in which similar calls have occurred in a short time
period
2. Crime pattern analysis - identify groups of crimes that are related in some way
3. Criminal investigative analysis - the process of constructing "profiles" of offenders who have
committed serious crimes against strangers
4. Geographic profiling - use geographic locations of an offender's crimes to identify and
prioritize areas where the offender is likely to live.
Strategic Crime Analysis - correct answer ✔✔ Development and evaluation of long-term
strategies, policies, and prevention techniques (include long-term statistical trends, hot spots,
and problem areas)
Strategic Crime Analysis - Data and Goal - correct answer ✔✔ Data - police databases, census
data, geographic zoning data, city data, and data collected through qualitative and quantitative
methods
Goal - identify long-term problems and understand why they are occurring
Strategic Crime Analysis - 4 Processes & Techniques - correct answer ✔✔ 1. Problem Area (Hot
Spot) - identifying areas with disproportionate amount crime compared to other areas
,2. Problem Offender and Victim Analysis - identify and prioritize individual offenders by the
number, type, and seriousness of their crimes; and individual victims by the number, type and
seriousness of their victimization
3. Problem Analysis - in-depth examination of, develop informed responses to, and evaluate
crime & disorder problems (understand who, what, when, where, why, and how)
4. Trend Analysis - aggregation of crime & other police data by time period and geographic area
to identify increases and decreases in crime
Administrative Crime Analysis - correct answer ✔✔ Analysis directed toward the admin needs
of the police agency, its government, and community
Administrative Analysis - 4 Processes & Techniques - correct answer ✔✔ 1. Districting & Re-
districting Analysis - determine the best geographic boundaries of districts and beats within a

2. Patrol Staffing Analysis - examine CFS and unit history data to conduct workload calculations
by area and shift

4. Cost-benefit Analysis - the cost of a particular program in comparison with the benefit/impact
of that program

, Scanning
Analysis
Response
Assessment
SARA - Scanning - correct answer ✔✔ Identify and prioritize crime, disorder, and quality of life
problems that concern both the public and the police
SARA - Analysis - correct answer ✔✔ Examine the problem
Identify potential responses
Use problem analysis triangle to break down problems
Determine how the problem is currently being addressed
Analyze local data to make conclusions to guide police response
SARA - Response - correct answer ✔✔ From the results of the analysis step, identify & select
appropriate responses for the problem from research, crime prevention techniques, and what
other communities have done
SARA - Assessment - correct answer ✔✔ Examine whether the response was successful by
looking at how the plan was implemented and whether there was a reduction in the problem
Crime Pattern - correct answer ✔✔ A group of 2 or more crimes reported or discovered by
police that are unique because they meet each of the 5 conditions
What are the 5 conditions of a crime pattern? - correct answer ✔✔ 1. Share at least 1
commonality in the type of crime (behavior/characteristics of the offender or victim, property
