5 Themes of Geography
By: Sean Hicks
The First Theme: Location
Absolute: The absolute location is the specific coordinates of a location. For Example, The Absolute location for the Hollywood sign is 34.1341 Degrees N, and 118.3217 degrees W.
Relative: The relative location for something would be a general location like, "Next Door" or "Across the way".
This could relate to Law Enforcement because Dispatch could say, "Next to the Walmart." or give them an address.

The Second Theme: Place
Place
This fits into Law Enforcement because there is an actual Police Station or a crime is in a building.
Big Ben
Hospital
School
The Third Theme: Region
Region
This fits into Law Enforcement because instead of having one Police force for all of Texas, we have different Forces for each city.
The Fourth Theme: Movement
Movement
This could be fit into Law Enforcement because the Officers need squad cars to get around town and travel to conventions and things of that nature.
The Fifth Theme: Human-Environment Interaction(HEI)
Human-Environment Interaction
Human-environment interaction looks at the relationships between people and their environment. How people adapt to the environment and how they change it.
In ancient times, the annual flooding of the Tiber River, in Rome, produced good soil for growing crops.
How do people depend on the environment?
How people of the ancient times depended on the migration of birds to hunt.
This could impact Law Enforcement because if a Homicide went down the weather could affect the state of the body.
