I have some questions in my mind though. President Obama said that his budget stimulus would 'save or create' X number of jobs. How do you measure that? By the same token, if LPD uses statistical data to determine a specific area may be ripe for a drive-by and we allocate our resources to that area and a drive-by doesn't occur, how do we measure that lack of a drive-by? I know this is a very simplistic example. I also feel that when it comes time to determine city budgets, the police dept would be citing crimes that have been prevented and asking to keep their budget, and the City would be citing the lack of crime therefore the lack of need for more $.Atticushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04852881237577051375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-67516347515231303532009-11-25T19:22:28.817-06:002009-11-25T19:22:28.817-06:00Thank you to all the Officers who work this holida...Thank you to all the Officers who work this holiday.

I do see a need for mentor programs to try to reduce crime but I think<br />a major step that is not being taught is victim education. What if<br />insurance companies required someone to take a lesson on crime<br />prevention before they could get auto, home and life insurance. They<br />might not leave that purse in their vehicle when working out at the gym etc. Are there any ideas to get education out there instead of just offering a lecture to people who volunteer. People are required to do many things before they can get what they want. It might reduce the insurance companies payouts. The problem would be getting all insuranceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-64920667052160058672009-11-25T09:24:17.878-06:002009-11-25T09:24:17.878-06:00Conversely, though, I think reaping the efficiency...Conversely, though, I think reaping the efficiency benefits of predictive policing might involve an initial investment in software, training, and personnel. A private business would easily understand the concept that investing $10,000 now might save you $100,000 over the next four years, but I'm...pessimistic...about the efficacy of this argument with municipal government.Christopher W.

I'm wondering if you could talk a little more about community policing and I also ran across this article the other day and thought it was pretty interesting, did you happen to see it? http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/24/us/24crime.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-23765434478051265642009-11-25T05:22:30.209-06:002009-11-25T05:22:30.209-06:00Chief:
