3. Locate the scene of the crime and search for offenders in the vicinity of the crime.
If the crime has been added to VeriTracks™
If the crime has been reported to VeriTracks™, of the system has already correlated the location of
crimes to that of offenders’ movements. To find these matches you can:
Search Based on crime hits identified by the system
1. Perform an Incident Hit search for the crime.
2. Screen the hits to determine if they are a good match (may require mapping the hits). See
Scoring the hits.
3. Map the hits by selecting those that are of interest.
4. If no good matches are found, use the last report function and review the “Third List.”
Commentary: While searching for incident hits is the most expedient means of finding the
offenders at the scene of the crime, it does require additional work to drill down to the “Third
List,” if it is needed.
Scoring Hits
VeriTracks™ has a scoring system for hits. Those with a single star are the “best
hits” meaning that the offender was close to the reported crime scene and at that
location for a large percentage of the time the crime occurred.
