DDACTS
“If you’re not keeping score,
it’s just practice.”
Data-Driven Approaches
to
Crime and Traffic Safety
DDACTS is an operational model that
uses the integration of locationbased 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 Effort
Grounded in Community-Oriented Policing
Evidence Based Problem-Solving
Provides Focused Area for Enforcement
Ensures Accountability
Applies High Visibility Enforcement
Fewer 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.”
