1. What do you think about the way Memphis is using technology to fight crime? I think it is a great idea. We live in a time where almost everyone uses some form of technology in their daily lives. Technology is meant to make our life easier. If using technology can make the lives of officers easier then we should be using it. If it can be used to help deploy officers faster to help get the crime rate down, then I think it is worth it.
2. What types of data do you think Police agencies would use to detect and interdict crime? I think they look at current arrest records to see where individuals are being arrested at the most. This way they can have more officers in that area and might help deter crime. I also believe that they use website companies to help track certain objects. When they see a trend of certain items sent to an area they can let officers know so they can be on the lookout.
3. What technologies are needed to capture crime data? I think good quality cameras are one of the main technologies needed. You can not do a lot of good if you are not able to monitor an area. I also believe that you need officers who are trained in analytics. They are needed to use the data to help give officers the things that are needed. I also believe that you need good computer programs that officers use to put their arrest. They use computer programs to help track what arrests they are doing and where they are happening at. Analytics then can use the data to help create a plan.
4. What technologies are needed to maximize the ability to identify and analyze crime data? I believe having the right equipment is the main focus. I also believe that you need officers who are trained in analytics. They are needed to use the data to help give officers the things that are needed.
