Public discourses place crime reduction at the core of police tasks. While a myriad of studies have reported positive crime reduction effects of hot spots policing and focused evidence-based policing programs, empirical evidence on the relationship between everyday policing and reported crime remains scarce. Harnessing novel big data technologies and mapping crime as well as police activity on micro geographic locations (i.e., street segments, blocks, grid cells) revitalizes the discussion on potential reciprocal feedback effects of police presence on reported crime. We employ rolling-window correlation methods and spatiotemporal analyses to unravel the relationship of police and crime over a three-year period. We report variations in the correlations between different types of policing, crime types, and different micro places as well as times.
