| Popis: | Evaluating policing strategies for effectiveness and community acceptance is a difficult task due to the lack of effective tools. To address these problems, we have developed the Visual Analytics Law Enforcement Toolkit (VALET) software that uses historical crime incident data to capture spatial and temporal trends while providing insight into departmental workload and performance. Through collaboration with partner police departments, we have used VALET’s crime mapping and prediction capabilities to educate both officers and citizens on how different policing enforcement strategies and changes within the community can affect crime trends. We overview the challenges of public perception of different community policy efforts and then describe the additional data exploration capabilities provided by VALET to fill this gap. We describe initial results from the use of VALET to support community outreach presentations, and make enhancement recommendations to improve community policing efforts and public perception of police action. |
