“Six police departments will participate in the initiative, which will gather surveillance videos and information from huge computer databases for use by a half-dozen ‘crime analysts.’ Those officials will identify so-called ‘hot spots’ and try to anticipate criminal activity before it occurs. This system is an adaptation of the ‘pattern-of-life’ analysis used by counter-insurgency forces in Afghanistan and Iraq.
