By applying a multiple ring buffer around existing police station you can really visualize the need for additional substations around the exterior of Houston. In addition to a visual buffer depicted on map, a spatial join was completed using the buffer and crimes layers showing 31% of crimes committed occurred more than six miles away from existing police station. I also completed a spatial join of all crimes with the nearest police station and represented them in the graph above. The graph shows a need for additional substations in the vicinity of the Clear Lake, Fondren, and Southeast police stations. With this new information, I have selected the most likely locations for new substations to help patrol troubled areas and increase response times.
