Data Collection:
Coordinate with Gary to obtain location data from police stations.
Gather geographical information on police stations, including their latitude and longitude coordinates.
Accurate location data is crucial for subsequent analysis.
Distance Calculation:
Calculate the distances between police stations using the coordinates obtained.
Understanding law enforcement’s spatial distribution and coverage in the area is the goal of this step.
Demographic Analysis:
Analyze data related to race, age, and shooting incidents.
Identify areas with the highest frequency of shootings.
This analysis helps identify potential hotspots.
Proximity Analysis:
Investigate how far shooting incidents occur from the police stations.
This analysis provides insights into response times and areas where increased law enforcement presence may be needed.
Data Segmentation:
Segment the data into training and testing datasets.
Consider the population distribution to ensure that the models are representative and capable of making accurate predictions or classifications.
