I am the Planning Coordinator for 2014 Bryne Justice Assistance Grant to design a Wellness/Mental Health Court for the Aurora Municipal Criminal Courts. Part of our grant has dollars set aside to do a intercept mapping for the gaps in our delivery system. I have looked locally for a moderator and have been unsuccessful. I reached out to our state JAG for assistance and they referred me to you.

Over the last few years, Gary Police Department (GPD) has started to use data more and we now have a full time crime analyst. Currently our efforts have focused on data that shows historical trends, comparisons between timeframes, and documents previous months efforts. We would like to start using data more proactively, in real time, to make decisions about deployment and to help identify strategies and tactics that are customized to high-crime neighborhoods.

The city has areas that are run down and unkempt resulting in community blight that is unattractive to homeowners and businesses. There are a large number (some 8000) abandoned buildings, although the city has started a demolition effort. Much of the housing stock is rental property providing no incentive for maintaining the property and we've seen limited landlord engagement to keep the properties up. Gary has seen a drop in population over the last decade, resulting in fewer jobs and businesses. This has led to buildings being abandoned and allowed to deteriorate.

I would like to request on behalf of my Department - the San Mateo Police Department - help with developing and improving our crime analysis program. I have heard that you have a two phased approach in which you can send an expert to our department to do an onsite review of crime analysis program and make recommendations for improvement. The 2nd phase of the approach is the implementation of some of the recommendations based on how intensive they will be. Hopefully I'm correct in my understanding and you can help me with this.
