This guide details how to use its core features for strategic and tactical analysis. Core Capabilities 4.7 / 10 CrimeView ...
: The system automatically assigns coordinates to incident addresses. High accuracy in this step is critical for reliable hotspot analysis. 2. Tactical Analysis (Short-Term) : Don't just rely on pin maps; use
: Use the software to identify clusters of recent activity. Tools like the Local Moran's I algorithm help distinguish between random occurrences and statistically significant clusters. Tactical Analysis (Short-Term) : Use the software to
: Generate choropleth maps (shaded regions) to compare crime rates across different neighborhoods or precincts over months or years. 4. Operational Deployment
