Crime prediction and Prevention

When taking on the position as a Police Chief with a team of 150 sworn officers, it would be my duty to ensure the safety of my guys as well as to change order so that the community would have good communication with our department.

The officers as well as the community should do community service projects cleaning up the area that are more targeted to attract crime.

In order to increase technological capacity within the local business, I would suggest CCTV, as well as cameras in parking lots, live body security guards in big lobby areas, and add more lighting in dark places were individuals may travel through at night.
