The Arkansas City, Kansas Police Department (PD) requested technical assistance in leveraging crime analysis software to better address property crimes and high rates of traffic accidents in the jurisdiction. Stewart Bruce was selected to fulfill this request and provided onsite evaluation services of existing resources, met with agency personnel and other law enforcement and community stakeholders, and developed a comprehensive final report with recommendations for how the PD can better deploy resources. Mr. Bruce delivered the final report to the PD in July 2017.

We believe properly applied, these changes will significantly lower our property crime rates and our accident rates making our community safer and our department more effective.
