| | Redding Police Department-Crime Analysis Unit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | The unit is currently staffed by a Crime Analyst, one Crime Analysis Technician, and several Volunteers. |
 | | The Crime Analysis Unit will focus on the criminal's "mode of operation" (or M.O.), the crime's day/time/location patterns and clusters, and past similar crimes to perform predictive analyses for mitigation efforts such as using a "decoy", stakeouts, extra patrol, saturating the area with additional marked units, or crime prevention methods. |
 | | The Redding Police Department's Crime Analysis Unit is constantly enhancing and updating its procedures to provide advanced analytical support by the systematic process of collecting, categorizing, analyzing, and disseminating timely, accurate, and useful information that describes crime patterns, crime trends, and potential suspects. |
