EAST COUNTY — The Montgomery County Precinct 4 Constable’s Office has launched a new method of attacking crime, known as The Hot Spot Team. A small group of officers is assigned to the Team, which includes both uniform and undercover officers. They execute felony and misdemeanor warrants, investigate tips, and generally go wherever they’re needed and will be most effective because of the frequency and/or concentration of criminal activity.
Research by the National Institute of Justice shows the “Hot Spot” method of policing is extremely effective and Precinct 4’s initial results support that contention. Some theories have suggested the method increases crime in surrounding areas. However, in reality, in-depth studies show Hot Spot policing reduces crime in the “hot spots” and in the surrounding areas.
The first two weeks of the new program in Precinct 4 were very successful, with 30 arrests the first week (9 felony and 21 misdemeanor) and 32 arrests during the second week (16 felony and 15 misdemeanor). The Hot Spot Team arrested 11 people on various charges in a single day. Their efforts, so far, have resulted in the confiscation of cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine, multiple illegally possessed prescription drugs, and the recovery of five firearms that were illegally in the possession of criminals.
Precinct 4 Constable Kenneth “Rowdy” Hayden said he was thrilled with the first two weeks’ results and looks forward to even greater success.
“We’re always looking for more effective and efficient ways of reducing crime in East Montgomery County and I believe we made a good decision when we implemented the Hot Spot method,” Constable Hayden said. “I think the results speak for themselves.”
Below are the 31 arrests made by the Hot Spot Team during their second week, from October 13 through October 19. These do not represent all of the Precinct 4 Constable’s Office arrests for the past week.
