“If you’re not keeping score,
it’s just practice.”
Data-Driven Approachesto
Crime and Traffic Safety
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
DDACTS Goal
Reduce the incidence of crime, crashes and traffic violations in a community
Reduces Social Harm
DDACTS Advantages
Collaborative EffortGrounded in Community-Oriented Policing
Evidence Based Problem-SolvingProvides Focused Area for Enforcement
Ensures AccountabilityApplies High Visibility EnforcementFewer Ethical and Legal Concerns
National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives
“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. To insure fairness and
consistency, the approach must be uniform throughout the agency.”
Joseph A. McMillan, NOBLE President
