Fiscal Year 2013-2015 Special Budget Meeting

Note: For the purposes of CompStat and deployment, Confirmed Shots Fired incidents will be mapped separately from the other two shooting categories. Although the CompStat meeting will be biweekly, a weekly CompStat Report will be prepared by the Crime Analysis Sertion and copies disttibuted by 1200 hours on Tuesday of every week. Crime reports are counted only once, according to the top charge only. For example, a home invasion armed robbery should be counted once as a robbery, not once as a robbery and once again as a burglary. Shooting incidents and shooting victims are not Penal Code crime classifications and should be additionally counted as either an assault or, if the victim dies, a homicide. Arrests, like crime reports, will be counted by top charge only. A person arrested for multiple charges will only be counted as a single arrest based on the highest charge. For example, a person arrested for both rape and burglary, occurring during the same incident, will be counted as a rape arrest only. Lieutenants and Sergeants shall ensure that officers prepare and submit crime reports prior to the end of their tours and that these reports are reviewed for accuracy, completeness and correct crime classification by a supervisor. As an integral component of the CompStat process, Disttict Captains must read and analyze crime reports daily.CompStat relies upon the "turf-based" accountability of commanders who take ownership of the crime problems in their respective areas of responsibility. These commanders then formulate plans to reduce these crimes and improve the safety, security and quality of life of the people we serve. CompStat is not just a MEETING. It is a continuing PROCESS that should take place throughout the intevening two weeks between each meeting. We will be continously improving the quality of our crime reporting and intelligence gathering, sharpening our focus as we devise effective tartics, responding swiftly to conditions in the streets as they develop and assessing our successes and failures to improve our overall effort against crime. Keep up the good work and stay safe. Howard Jordan Chief of Police The Bratton Group, LLC 36
