The web display uses JavaScript and the Google Maps Api to display both the crime and officer placement data . The web display begins by loading the basic Google Maps library and the Visualization library. The display adds the police officer points to the map, and then adds the crime data points as a weighted heatmap layer. The effect the points have on the heatmap are determined by the weight of the point. Weights are determined by the severity of offence (Figure 8, 9).
Figure 8 : Weights 5 through 30 and the offences that correspond to them.
Figure 9 : Weights 35 through 50 and the offences that correspond to them.
