Takoma Park Police Department Compstat Program
Background
Chief Ronald A. Ricucci and Crime Analyst Kyleen Luy will brief the Council on the Police Department’s Compstat Program. Compstat is a system to strategically manage law enforcement operations. The purpose of Compstat is to develop effective strategies to combat crime or other issues within a neighborhood, based on data analysis and accountability. It focuses on outcomes and is not used to measure productivity. The goal of Compstat is problem solving and, as a result, creating a safe community. The department began the Compstat program in March. A Compstat session has been held at the monthly staff meetings. In September, the department will go to one meeting every week. Also, in September, the department will begin holding a monthly meeting at night for our residents. At these meetings, staff will present what is happening in our city, how the department is reacting, and how the department is holding staff accountable. The sessions will demonstrate what works and what does not. If the department is then held accountable, we will be successful.
Fiscal Impact
The City Council is the policymaking body for the City of Takoma Park and establishes work priorities for the staff. Updates on staff activities assist the City Council in the performance of its duties and enables the city to provide more effective services to the community None
