What is Route Policing?

Route Policing is a proactive crime reduction service that focuses on deploying officers along designated routes in areas prone to criminal activity. These routes are strategically selected based on forecasted information, including the future date, time, and location of potential crimes. The core mission is simple yet powerful: officers concentrate their patrol efforts on these routes, using high visibility as a deterrent while leveraging predictive data to be in the right place at the right time.

How Route Policing Works

The mechanics of Route Policing are straightforward yet powerful. Officers are equipped with detailed information predicting where and when crimes are most likely to occur. Armed with this intelligence, they patrol designated routes, ensuring high visibility throughout their shift. To potential criminals, it may seem as though the officer is everywhere at once, creating a strong deterrent effect.

The predictive aspect of Route Policing allows officers to be at the right location at the right time, maximizing their effectiveness in preventing crimes. By sticking to the route and focusing on visibility, officers can disrupt criminal activity before it even happens, making Route Policing a highly effective crime prevention tool.
