Simple indicator statistics were used to identify temporal clusters of crimes and police presence, and to investigate potential links between the two. The methodology was applied on an anonymized police database, including reported crime events and police presence data, from a medium-sized European police department. The results illustrated that certain crime types occurred more during the day (e.g., burglaries), while others were more prevalent at night (e.g., drug crimes, motorbike and car theft). Police presence showed dispersed temporal patterns and little temporal focus on any type of crime. The research shows that temporal summary statistics can be used to support an explorative analysis of big datasets and guide subsequent spatiotemporal analyses of crime and police data. The summary statistics offer an accessible approach to analysing extensive datasets of policing activity and improving evidence-based policing strategies.

While police perceptions have been used in prior research to assess other topics, very few studies have assessed police perceptions of marijuana legalization. To address this, police officers and sheriff deputies at 64 randomly selected police departments across Colorado were administered surveys that assessed the impact marijuana has had on enforcement and their personal perceptions of marijuana. In addition, qualitative questions were asked to explore these topics in greater detail. The findings of the 131 respondents suggest that most police officers in Colorado are slightly supportive of legalization, but have noted that it has made their job more difficult.
