Crime Analysis & Statistics

Responsibilities

The crime analysis unit was created to assist the Patrol and Investigations divisions in monitoring crime and identifying crime trends and/or similarities. Crime bulletins and maps are periodically disseminated throughout the department identifying and highlighting crimes of interest, high numbers of incidents, and/or crime sprees within the City of Deer Park. The unit is also responsible for coding crime data in compliance with state and national guidelines governing Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) data.

The crime analysis function also encompasses statistical reporting for both internal and external users. Statistical reports are generated monthly or on an as needed basis by patrol or administration. An example of the reports generated by the unit for internal usage include crime statistic reports, accident analyses, repeat calls for service by location, and summarized incident reports. Additionally, reports are available to the citizens of Deer Park summarizing crime or accident data by location, as requested. To request a report, complete the Crime Analysis Request Form.
