Below is a basemap of the Washington DC area. It shows the major hignways, the crime dispersal, and police station. The chart tells how many and what type of crimes were committed in the area.

The map below shows distances from police stations and the crimes committed around them. I noticed that there is a cluster of crimes in the southern part of the state. These crimes happened more than 2 miles away from a police station. I would recommend a new station be placed in this area.
