Garrison, AmandaCJ-305-R4940 2-1 Module Two Assignment: Exploration of Predictive Policing 2 2-1 Module Two Assignment: Exploration of Predictive Policing I selected my local department, Fairfield Police Department, to review their crime map. There crime map can be located here:https://fpd.crimegraphics.com/2013/default.aspx Other databases that can be used for predictive policing include: California's Megan's Law website, where you can look up registered sex offenders either by name or that reside in vicinity of a given address. https://www.meganslaw.ca.gov/ Activist Map, which is a resource to track domestic terrorism activity as a registered member of law enforcement.http://activistmap.com/ FirstTwo is a website that law enforcement agencies can pay to access and have custom built to their needs. One of the layers built in for my account is California suspected illicit massage parlors, which is generated from data provided by the FBI and from open source information contained onhttps://www.rubmaps.ch https://www.firsttwo.com/ On the Fairfield Police crime map is set up to only allow you to view one type of call at a time out of their 12 types of calls, which include: traffic, fire or medical calls, auto theft/ tampering, animal calls, assaults, alarms, disturbance call, other incidents, burglary/ theft/ fraud, vandalism/ graffiti, robbery, and suspicious persons/ vehicles. Their crime map allows you to either search a date range for a specific type of call in the entire city or you can input an address and select a proximity of that address to search for a specific type of call.
