Crime Prevention Strategies Commanders in each patrol division take preventative steps to address any increase in crime such as aggravated assaults and motor vehicle thefts. All patrol divisions have strategic operating funds (SOF) used to address crime in their areas. Commanders work with the Real Time Crime Center, Crime Analysts, and Neigh- borhood Police Officers to identify emerging trends and hot spot areas. Additionally, Commanders keep track of previous crime trends and put officers in those locations to prevent crime from occurring. SOF funds are a valuable resource used to put additional officers in hot spot areas to act as a deterrent and/or provide the opportunity to make arrests. Lastly, another resource that Commanders have is a Special Response Team. This is a group of officers used to address violent and property crimes within the division and are not subject to 911 calls for service. They work at the direction of the Commander and change and/or modify their sched- ule to address crime issues and trends. Beyond the various resources the Commanders use to address crime trends, there is constant collaboration with various units within the department including Gang, Narcotics, Vice, Homicide, Robbery, and Family Violence in an effort to reduce or eliminate crime.
