May 26, 2009, Canton, MI - This month Sergeant Mark Gajeski, Community Relations Coordinator for Canton Police Department, attended a 40-hour Crime Analysis training class. Gajeski is responsible for crime analysis and crime prevention for the department.

The class titled "Crime Analysis" covered how to recognize a series of criminal acts and how to pick out a pattern of related events. Once an established pattern of events is determined, analysts were taught to utilize a series of calculations to assist in predicting when the next criminal act may occur.

"Once we are able to establish a pattern, the information I received in the class will assist the department with determining when and where to focus our resources, allowing us to better serve the community," says Sergeant Mark Gajeski.

For more information on crime prevention or crime analysis contact Sgt. Mark Gajeski at 734/394-5424.
