abstract = {In Spain, the security of towns is borne by the Spanish National
Police Corps (SNPC), usually sharing territory with other local security
forces. The SNPC is an armed Institute of civil nature, subordinated
to the Ministry of Home Affairs. Among its duties are: keeping
and restoring order and public safety and to prevent the commission
of criminal acts. The SNPC is one of the country's most valued institutions
and is located at the global forefront in the fight against crime,
with the aim of constant innovation.
To improve the effectiveness of patrolling operations and increase
the efficiency in the use of resources, the SNPC has started to develop a
Decision Support System (DSS) comprising tools and models to assist
various public security tasks. One of the main objectives of the system
is the implementation of a predictive patrolling policy to increase the
presence of agents in the areas where they are most needed, to reduce
the probability of occurrence of crime. To this end, the author, in
collaboration with professionals from the SNPC, developed a Predictive
Policing tool for crime risk forecasting based on the statistical analysis
of spatio-tempooral crime patterns, and an optimization model for
the definition of patrolling sectors configuration, tailored to suit the
requirements of the SNPC..},
