This is an adaptation of the New York Transit Authority and Police Department's "COMPSTAT". Like the New York model, the Mundelein Police Department utilizes CRIMESTAT to analyze crime patterns within each police district. The Chief of Police, the Deputy Chief of Operations and Support Services, as well as the Zone Commander, District Commander and District Officers, attend monthly meetings.
During each meeting, issues such as crime patterns, district officer concerns and concerns from the community are discussed. Also discussed are the problem solving techniques used to address these issues.
This process requires communication
on all levels of the department, from command to the rank and file.
Not only are problems discussed, but also credit is given to district
officers and command for their approach taken to solve these problems.
The process accomplishes positive results and solutions to community
problems, thereby further strengthening the partnerships created with the
community.
