Something to Think About “The real threat of crime is what it does to us and to our communities. No nation hiding behind locked doors is free, for it is imprisoned by its own fear. No nation whose citizens fear to walk their street is healthy, for in isolation lies the poisoning of public participation. A nation which surrenders to crime…is a society which has resigned itself to failure…” - Senator Robert F. Kennedy, 1968
What is DDACTS?
DDACTS is an operational model that uses the integration of location-based
crime and traffic data to establish effective and efficient methods for
deploying law enforcement and other resources.

“If the data analysis reveals that criminal activity and traffic crashes occur at a specific place within a
community, then it is at that place that law enforcement activities need to be focused. A non-biased,
data-driven approach to crime and traffic safety delivers law enforcement services at the right place and at the right time.”
Joseph A. McMillan, NOBLE President (past)
