| Crime Analysis Unit |
| |
 |
The Crime Analysis Unit works closely with the Investigations Division to provide them with accurate information to help establish patterns and to develop plans for the apprehension of offenders. |
| |
| Crime analysis involves identifying patterns of |
| criminal activity so that the SCPD can direct patrol into the higher crime rate areas in order to reduce the opportunity for continued crimes. Today, officers have more information than ever before. This has a positive impact on our community. |
| |
| The Crime Analysis Unit is involved with creating a county-wide initiative to combine criminal information into one central location. This information will be shared among all Crime Analysis Units in the county and will provide them with maps indicating crime locations. San Jose, Los Gatos and Santa Clara will be the first group to contribute information. Criminals know no boundaries and SCPD anticipates that this tool will assist us in bringing them to justice. |
