Fiscal Year 2013-2015 Special Budget Meeting

THE COMPSTAT REPORT Crime Analysis personnel will prepare weekly crime reports that will provide accurate timely information for the bi-weekly CompStat meetings. These reports will be used to identify crime trends and performance data (i.e., enforcement activity) to serve as for the basis for discussion and to help identify issues that may require tactical and strategic planning. The following procedures will be complied with to ensure that the CompStat Report is prepared and distributed on a weekly basis. Accurate and timely data are critical elements in this process: CompStat Weekly Reporting Period: The CompStat weekly reporting period starts on Monday at 0001 hours and ends on Sunday at 2400 hours. Discussion at CompStat meetings will focus on all crime and enforcement activity occurring prior to the previous Sunday at 2400 hours. The weekly CompStat Report will consist of six pages: five single-page summaries that ttack crime and enforcement data for each of the five Districts and one page that provides a citywide recap of this information. Shooting Information: For the purpose of the CompStat process, shootings will now be classified into three separate categories: shooting incidents, shooting victims and confirmed shots fired as follows: > Shooting Incidents - A shooting incident is recorded when a shot is fired from a weapon, other than a BB gun or pellet gun, and the shot strikes a person, or persons, breaking the skin of the victim(s). There must be at least one victim struck to record a shooting incident for CompStat reporting purposes. > Shooting Victims - This category records the number of persons who are actually struck by a shot as defined above under the shooting incident heading. Every CompStat shooting incident must have at least one shooting victim and may have multiple shooting virtims. Note: Shooting incidents as described above will also be counted as assaults or, if victims die, as homicides. For example, if four persons are standing on the corner and the occupants of a passing car fire several shots striking two people, this incident would be reported as one shooting incident, one assault and two shooting victims. If one of the two people shot were to die, the incident would be reported as one shooting incident, two shooting virtims, one homicide and one assault > Confirmed Shots Fired -This category records incidents in which shots have been fired but no person(s) have been struck by a bullet The Bratton Group, LLC 3 5
