Spatial Locations of Police and Houston's Crime Incidents



This map shows the police stations and their proximity to crime in the City of Houston. To get the proximity, a buffer was applied at three different fixed distances after each crime was connected by a spatial join to each police station. I had to attempt this map twice not only because of the VM issue but also because the directions were oftentimes unclear and seemingly missing some steps. The outcome of this map really shows where Houston needs more resources based on the proximity of crime it is dealing with.
