DISCUSSION:
Directed patrol is an important aspect of policing. Hypothetically place yourself in the role as the chief of police in the City of Miami.
- Provide a list of locations within the City that you believe to be hot spots for criminal activity. (Research the police agency for its crime statistics.)
City of Miami -Overtown -Flagami -Midtown -Wynwood -Little Haiti
- Would you increase the number of police officers assigned to these areas? Why or Why not?
- If you answer yes, what assignments/units would you pull the police officers from?
- What activities would you have the police officers perform in the targeted areas?
- Explain how these activities would control crime?
- If you answer no, how will you justify your inaction to the city commissioners, the mayor (your boss), the media, and the public?
