What is a significant focus of the T.O.R.C.H program?

The T.O.R.C.H program is primarily designed to strategically address crime in hotspots. This approach is built on the understanding that certain areas experience higher crime rates than others, and by focusing resources and efforts on these hotspots, law enforcement can effectively decrease criminal activity. This strategy involves data-driven analysis to identify where crime is most prevalent, allowing police to allocate their resources more efficiently and create targeted interventions that can lead to significant reductions in crime.

The rationale for focusing on hotspots is that addressing crime in these areas can have a broader positive impact on the surrounding community by not only reducing incidents but also enhancing the overall sense of safety and security. Through this focused approach, the T.O.R.C.H program aims to disrupt patterns of criminal behavior and foster a safer environment for residents.
