Coeur d'Alene Police Department downtown hot spots

COEUR d'ALENE - On Tuesday, the Coeur d'Alene Police Department released its report on activity at downtown watering holes from July 22 through July 28.

The department's crime analysis division generates two "hot spot" maps each week - one for incidents that generated official reports and another for responses that did not - of the downtown area. According to Sgt. Christie Wood, the maps are particularly beneficial to the Community Action Team - a group created by Chief Lee White to focus on going where they're needed most, while interacting as much as possible with business owners and residents.

Coeur d’Alene Police – Crime Analysis

Downtown Activity / Crime Report: July 22- 28, 2015

The types of information used to create this report include calls for service, crime reports and field interviews. These records were reviewed and compiled based upon both how the record is related to a specific bar or problem activity in the downtown Coeur d’Alene area. Notably, it is not always possible to obtain information about where a suspect may have been drinking (e.g. too inebriated) or if a particular crime is directly related to a specific establishment. In fact, the below “hot spot” maps reflect ALL calls or crimes reports – not just those directly related to downtown bars. In that context, the purpose of this report is to provide a general overview of downtown activities in an effort to increase communication between bar establishments, businesses, residents and local law enforcement with the goal of improving public safety.
