A Ten Point Crime Prevention Plan

For a Safer Community

1. Promote Secured Mobile Surveillance using newly recruited Police Officers in a Bullet-Proof Non-Motorized Vehicle (NMV), which is connected in real time with dispatch. Veteran Police Officers can now be dispersed to other areas where they are truly needed.

2. Institute better Community Relations using the Ad Space on the Police NMV to promote local businesses and events. The Ad Campaign is designed to pay for the cost and operation of the bulletproof NMV’s.

3. Make the public aware of the offenders violating their community using the video footage captured from mobile surveillance and add their faces to a profile for Community Watch.

4. Target parolees and other continuous violent crime offenders on a shared database with the public, and use the mobile surveillance footage in courts. Stop and Frisk should only apply to known criminals active in the court and parole systems.

5. Recommend a plan for businesses to be able to capture facial images before a patron can enter a business, especially during late night and 24 hour operations. Businesses must be aware of who is entering their facility.

6. Volunteers commissioned by the City (Security Officers, Police, Retired Military) can be active in mobile surveillance, especially if they know they are in a safe mobile surveillance unit.

7. MOBILE TIP will allow tipsters to call in a dispatch, and have a surveillance vehicle on the scene of criminal activity. The vehicles are segmented in sectors throughout the region of a city or community.

8. The presence of the mobile surveillance vehicles in targeted high crime areas is discouragement enough. Crime Offenders do not want to be exposed.

9. Better public awareness should be addressed, concerning the dangers of what a Police Officer has to face on a daily basis, especially on city streets. Co-operation is always the best practice when engaging communication with Law Enforcement Officials.

10. Crime Intervention with family members of these known violators should be pursued. Oftentimes, family is in denial that their loved one is a criminal, but active surveillance and information from the family may help the criminal turn around.
