Place Centered Investigations
The Problem
A small number of locations generate a disproportionate share of serious crime and repeat calls for service. Traditional enforcement often cycles through these places without producing sustained harm reduction. Research consistently shows that focused, place-based strategies outperform unfocused enforcement.
The Solution
Place Centered Investigation (PCI) is an evidence-based approach that identifies and disrupts the networks of activity, facilities, and conditions driving crime at high-harm locations—rather than focusing solely on individuals.
🔍 What We Provide:
- Evidence -Based Training
- Embedded CRI Crime Analyst 3-4 days per month
- On-site consultation with Chiefs / Sheriff Administration and other city or county entities to build better relationships.
- Crime harm analysis in customized crime reduction initiatives
- Investigative and supervisor coaching
- SOP and policy development for PCI
- Liaison for better interagency coordination
We help you create a better-structured, definable program designed to reduce crime, disrupt criminal networks, focus on place rather than just persons, and build stronger internal capacity.
