CompStat
CompStat (also written COMPSTAT) is a police management system created by the New York City Police Department in 1994 with assistance from the New York City Police Foundation. Today, variations of the system are used in police departments worldwide. Under CompStat, the police department keeps a daily-updated digital record of crimes reported and in weekly meetings the department's leadership gathers to review trends in the data. During its early years, it was credited with decreased crime rates in NYC, though scholars are divided on whether it played a role. It has also been criticized in NYC for leading to data manipulation and increased stop-and-frisk searches. Origins CompStat (in NYPD it is said to be short for "compare stats", but in LAPD it is said to be short for “computer statistics”) is a management system created in April 1994 by Bill Bratton and Jack Maple, whom Bratton met while he was chief of the New York City Transit Police and later hired as the New York Po ...
