A component of the Kansas City SPI strategy involves traditional Hot Spot (place based) Policing similar to what the Portland SPI project did with their Ni-LOC locations. The Kansas City SPI team will conduct a site visit to Portland to learn best strategies, dosages and methods to administer that type of policing and how to accurately track the resulting effects.

Toledo's SPI program focuses on an offender-based strategy which targets prolific offenders. Operation LASER combines offender-based strategy (chronic offenders) with location-based strategy (targeted hotspots). This exchange would allow the Toledo SPI team to observe how a large department successfully combines both approaches so that a similar approach can be developed and pursued in Toledo.
