Discussion

Burglary in the area of interest appears ubiquitous, with hot spots focused in the vicinity of Washington, Jefferson, and Chestnut.

Because Friday and Saturday have the highest incidence of burglary, it is worth looking out for potential burglaries on Fridays in particular.

Neighbors should be vigilant in the afternoon on weekends, particularly between 2 and 3 pm.  

Patrols by vehicle focused on disrupting potential burglaries would be valuable along Woodbine Avenue and Boruff Street, which appear to bisect the areas highlighted.

Patrols on foot might include more traffic on Glenwood, Washington, and Dodson at Monroe and Boruff, and along Woodbine from Monroe to Polk.
