The security environment is evolving dynamically and analysis of is the task of work security managers. To analyse the security environment we need different data. There are currently online databases published on the publicly accessible data warehouse, as well as web map servers, often in the form of eg. Underlying topographical data used for analysing. Another source of data is the Statistical Office and other authorities or police. Spatial analyses often provide a different view of the monitored phenomenon. Crime mapping is a valuable source of data for the analysis of the security environment. An advantage can be considered the identification of risk areas as well as the monitoring of changes in the extent and location of risk places. The second advantage is the ability to focus only on the analysis of selected offenses that can help, for example, in the monitoring of selected social groups. Crime mapping results are important sources of data for comprehensive analysis of the security environment at the city level. This is confirmed by the results of mapping crime in Kosice for the years 2010 to 2015 presented in this article.
