This chapter describes various procedures for performing crime analysis. Central to crime solving
procedures are the “Crime Hit” and the Crime Hit Report.
A crime hit is the correlation of an offender’s location with the time and location of a crime.
VeriTracks™ offers many features to solve crimes, which includes the Crime Hit report and tools on
the map screen.
The Crime Hit Report
The Crime Hit Report lists any crime hits that have been reported in the last 24 hours. Because not all
crimes are reported when they occur or occur over several days, the Crime Hit Report may contain
hits that are days or weeks old.
How to use the hit report
This report provides the crime analyst a summary of the hits and list of offenders at crimes without
logging into the system.
