COMPSTAT  

Definition(s)

  • Compstat, alternatively styled COMPSTAT, ComStat, or CompStat, derives its name from computer statistics and refers to the policies, practices, systems, and organizational structures subsumed by a revolutionary police management paradigm first developed and implemented by the New York Police Department (NYPD) in 1994 during the administration of Police Commissioner William J. Bratton. The Compstat management system had an immediate and dramatic impact on the NYPD's capacity to reduce crime and improve quality of life within New York City, where overall crime (as measured by the seven major Uniform Crime Report (UCR) Index Crimes of murder, rape, robbery, burglary, felony assault, grand larceny and motor vehicle theft) declined more than 80 percent from 1993 levels.
