The crime analysis unit should be located in an area where users will have access. A formal quality control procedure should be instituted within the police department so that police offense reports will contain information pertinent for analysis. Offense report forms should be revised if the information needed is lacking, and patrol officers should be encouraged to cooperate in devising new forms. Crime analysis information should be responsive to user needs and should be credible. Investigators should be encouraged to use crime analysis information and to contribute to it. A verbal exchange between analysts and users is suggested to enhance the information's quality. A manual system must be fully implemented and understood by all actors involved before crime analysis can be automated. Crime analysis information must be timely and operational files prioritized. Manpower resources are limited and thus must be carefully allocated. There must be rapport between prosecutors and the police in order for ICAP to be a success. Crime analysis can aid patrol officers by coordinating cases, identifying crime patterns, and pointing out high crime areas/targets.
