Crime Analysis

As continuation of the Tucson Police Department’s (TPD) prior PSP peer exchange request to visit Los Angeles to observe the LAPD’s full CompStat process, IIR provided SME assistance with LAPD SMEs Ms. Jessica Statland and Lieutenant Christopher Chase to provide targeted TTA for CompStat. Following the previous CompStat peer exchange, the TPD requested LAPD attendance at a TPD CompStat meeting to better prepare the TPD for using CompStat in its Investigative Bureaus, in addition to its current Patrol Division.

The Knoxville, Tennessee, Police Department requested that PSP provide assistance in establishing a CompStat management system. On October 9–10, LAPD SMEs Ms. Jessica Statland and Lieutenant Christopher Chase provided targeted TTA to observe, advise, and recommend steps to implementing a robust CompStat program.

Two Aurora PSP site representatives and one Rochester representative attended the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) 2024 Public Safety Symposium. This symposium convened a diverse group of those involved in public safety efforts around the country, including police, prosecutors, community supervision, crime analysts, researchers, community members, and criminal justice practitioners. During the 4-day symposium, attendees discussed innovative public safety initiatives, evidence-based violence reduction practices, and other contemporary criminal justice topics.

A recent peer exchange between the Vallejo and Aurora Police Departments highlighted the effectiveness of community-based violence reduction programs. The focus of the exchange was the Aurora Stand Against Violence Everyday (SAVE) program. This grant-funded program leverages community partners as much as possible, working through confrontation and offering a concrete letter of support to those in the community most likely to commit violent crimes, specifically focusing on people between the ages of 18 and 25.
