Week 8: Project 1 - Analyze Washington D.C.'s Crime

This map shows the crime in Washington D.C during August of 2009 along with the locations of Police Stations. The data was provided by the DC Metropolitan Police Department for crime analysis in order to distribute patrol resources effectivly. One of the many ways the data was used, was to figure out crime patterns near police stations to help determine how effective they are and if building new substations would be helpful. The map below shows the recommended police substations.
