The past two captains in Las Vegas Metro's Bolden Area Command have been proponents of "intelligence-led policing." This week, 16 officers, two from each area command, are getting special training at UNLV's Department of Criminal Justice, to learn about databases and analysis techniques. Next week, they will be prepared with civilian crime analysts who work at Metro. The objective will be to have a team in each area command that will look for emerging crime trends and assist the bureau commander in making daily (and possibly more frequent) adjustments in police deployment and patrol activities, aimed at more efficient police work.
Sgt. Jack Clements with Metro's Bolden Area Command explains the idea to Crime Tracker 3's Sophia Choi.
Metro also has a partnership with UNLV, where graduate students will also look at crime reports. The students will be searching for other kinds of patterns in data that can be compared to crime trends. For example, they might look at possible connections between foreclosuers and crime, to see if that strongly-suspected link is supported by data, and to identify if there is some number or density of foreclosed homes that triggers an increase in crime.

Crime by the Numbers - Bolden Area
The downward crime trend in Metro's jurisdiction looks to continue in the new year, but the Crime Tracker 3 has found out Metro definitly has some areas of concern. This week's focus is on the Bolden Area Command. Overall, violent crime is down 33-percent so far this year, and property crime is down 27-percent.
In the last week, bolden area officers looked at crime data and saw a trend: a rise in burglaries in a neighborhood just west of their substation, between Simmons and Tonopah, south of Lake Mead Boulevard. We spoke with Lt. Rob Lundquist.
The officers who visited that neighborhood found some simple problems, like poor lighting or overgrown bushes. Metro detectives are still working on the harder problem -- finding and arresting the suspects in those burglaries. If you want a crime prevention specialist to check out your home and neighborhood, just call your police station.
