This post is a continuation of the once a week Friday Analysts' Corner post to explain, for working crime analysts, how to keep track of pattern data in their own files using MS Excel.
Tracking Stolen Goods
Consider the items stolen in your jurisdiction that might reveal important patterns (that either often reveal serial crimes, serve as indicators of organized crime activity, or could be studied and prevented through a problem oriented policing approach). Here are some examples of stolen items you may want to track in their own workbooks:
Laptop and Desktop Computers
Recreational Vehicles (including boats and ATVs)
Cigarettes
Liquor
Lottery Tickets
Jewelry
Animals/Pets
Antiques/Collectibles
GPS Units
Copper/Metals/Catalytic Converters
Track persons arrested for serial crimes of these types.
