PredPol Algorithms for predicting crime

The LAPD uses a predictive policing model developed by UCLA to allocate resources more effectively. This model, supported by the National Science Foundation, predicts future crime locations more accurately than traditional methods like hot spotting. By creating a 12-hour map, officers are directed to potential crime areas, improving efficiency and reducing crime with fewer resources. The model has proven to be 25% to 30% more accurate than predictions made by crime analysts.
