Today I was able to tag along with my supervisor to the CompStat meeting. This meeting is where each of the districts goes over their stats and data for a 28 day period. The different districts focus on different things. The district supervisors brief everyone on special projects they are doing to help reduce the crime rate and trends. It was very interesting to hear the break downs on all the different numbers. A lot of very high up police personnel attended and that was very cool to see. From what I saw CompStat is very beneficial because it allows the districts to get together every month and discuss what they see as a crime trend and what they could do to stop the trend. As a crime analysis you are consistantley keeping track of these stats so in a way it is very rewarding seeing all your hard work being put into a packet and being discussed!
