@JeffAsher is this based on the coding they would use for NIBRS? I’m curious what factors would lead to an increase in one and decrease in the other. Historically violent crime decreases when we are in economic recessions but that could be result of poor reporting or incarceration. Dated but still relevant article. https://www.city-journal.org/html/crime-and-great-recession-13399.html
@muniramustaffa and we have a winner!

@arizmendi I lifted somewhat heavy today after 3 months of stretching and body weight exercises. The next two days should be interesting.
@arizmendi we are all a work in progress
@TwShiloh we had a system based on NY’s Compstat, known as PRO-Act. Data was critical and she took me up on the spreadsheet idea as well as keeping the map.
@TwShiloh she would show up for squad briefings and ask questions to the patrol deputies assigned to those areas. It became a culture as every patrol briefing sheet said “map review” as a header.
@TwShiloh I had a Captain when I was in law enforcement in the early 2000’s that used us regional investigators to place color coded pins on a massive wall map as we went through our daily crime reports. I quipped, “I can do this via an excel spreadsheet and list locations based on neighborhoods.” She replied “but the squads will not see it everyday day when they walk into briefing.”
