The officers of Dekalb Police Department were aware of the high crime rate and they’re considering whether set up a new office or relocate the existing department to shorten the distance, also, ensure to reach the crime scene in super speedy. To select a more reasonable location, an essential assumption is that the current office will no longer associated with. Besides the existed office, geo-policing is not a necessary factor neither. Therefore, the police officers will work from the new location that we inferred and answer the incoming calls there. First thing first is to model it as a single facility location problem, and then, calculate by the Minisum model with rectangular distances as well as the Minimax model with tchebychev distances.
