They analyze crime data using specialized software.
They have no involvement in the process.

mapping. Which consideration is essential?
Ensuring transparency in data collection and usage
Sharing sensitive information without consent
Discriminating against certain demographic groups
Limiting access to crime maps for law enforcement personnel only

You are the Patrol Supervisor for the morning shift. You don’t have enough
men to cover all the patrol beats. Which of the following will you implement?

Assign roving mobile patrol with no foot patrol

Assign mobile patrols only in strategic places

mobile patrol to cover beats which are not covered by foot patrol
A police department is adopting a community-oriented policing approach to
address rising gang-related violence in a neighborhood. What strategy would
best align with this approach?

Conducting large-scale raids to arrest gang members

Increasing patrols only during nighttime hours
Collaborating with community leaders and residents to develop prevention
programs
Implementing strict curfew laws for all residents

A police department is evaluating the effectiveness of a new technology for

crime analysis and prediction. After implementation, they find that it
significantly reduces response time to emergencies and helps in proactive
policing. What should be the department's next step?

Discontinue the technology due to budget constraints

Expand the use of the technology and provide training to all officers
Ignore the technology and rely on traditional policing methods
Decrease officer training hours to compensate for the technology costs
