Introduction to Crime Reduction Statistics

Crime Reduction Statistics can be used to generate key statistics and reports, monitor crime trends, and modernize CompStat practices.

Many agencies attempt to reduce crime by using a traditional CompStat process, but they struggle because inefficient data processes and static analysis products impede their ability to efficiently detect and prioritize problems. They recognize that CompStat relies heavily on percent change statistics and often misinterprets normal seasonal spikes in crime. This misinterpretation ultimately leads to inefficient, or misguided, operational decisions. Crime Reduction Statistics is typically implemented by law enforcement agencies that want to use current data and statistics to identify trends. The agencies can then make this information available to police executives so that they can make faster and more informed decisions.

The Crime Reduction Statistics solution delivers a set of capabilities that help you manage incident data, generate key statistics and reports, and monitor trends in crime.

Crime Reduction Statistics	An ArcGIS Pro project used by crime analysts to automate production of key statistics and hard copy reports, which helps crime analysts free up time typically spent on statistics and report preparation.	GIS Professional (Basic, Standard, or Advanced)
Crime Statistics Dashboard	An ArcGIS Dashboards app used by police personnel to interactively map and monitor short- and long-term statistical trends and spikes in crime, which helps personnel quickly identify and respond to emerging problems.	Viewer
Calls for Service Statistics Dashboard	An ArcGIS Dashboards app used by police personnel to interactively map and monitor short- and long-term statistical trends and spikes in calls for service which helps personnel quickly identify and respond to emerging problems.	Viewer

When you deploy this solution in your ArcGIS organization, you also get an ArcGIS solution item that organizes the key information products and summarizes all the ArcGIS items (applications, forms, projects, maps, feature layers, feature layer views, and so on) included with the solution. The ArcGIS solution item also illustrates any dependencies items have on each other.
