Analyze Data for Homeland Security

These are maps of the NORAD facility in Colorado. The line of site analysis is shows how the software can be used to help homeland security officials determine optimal surveillance coverage. The other map shows the line of site analysis used with 3D mapping. Overall this exercise was extremely frustrating because the directions were unclear throughout. I was just relieved to be finished with the exercise and be able to move on to the final project.

Analyzing Washington D.C. Crime

This is a map of schools color coded by the number of crimes committed within 1000ft. It is hard to tell if the drug free zone is effective without having the statistics from before the drug free zone laws were created. Currently 39% of all the crime is occurring within 1000ft of a school if the percentage was higher before the laws were created then it could be considered effective, but 39 percent is still very high in general.
