DDACTS

“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
