Summary a The CompStat Program Was Created in New York to Help

Question 13

Multiple Choice

Summary A
The CompStat program was created in New York to help fight crime. It could provide the information needed to prevent future shootings of citizens. Choosing to implement CompStat in the department also demonstrates commitment to solving the problem. Taking action is a step forward in assuring members of the community that the department takes this problem seriously and is implementing solutions. However, it may be difficult to find the funding to pay for the CompStat program.

Summary B
The beat system was created by Sir Robert Peel. Officers were stationed in small permanent posts. Use of this system in your community is a good first step in reducing crime and improving the departments' relationship with the citizens. As civilians and officers get to know each other better trust will develop. As trust with the officer's increases they will gain more information about the community and be better able to prevent crime. However, this closeness also opens up opportunities for abuse and thus more intensive level of monitoring the officers will be necessary.

Assigning a small group of officers to research the two programs will give you the information you need to make an informed decision. Costs and quality are both important considerations when deciding whether to implement CompStat, beat policing, or both.
A week later, your four police officers call you into a meeting to discuss the results of their research. They present you with a detailed budget and cost analysis and testimonials from the community, approving both the implementation of CompStat and the hiring of increased numbers of black officers.
