Data-Driven Approaches to Crime and Traffic Safety
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.
DDACTS Goals
Reduce the incidence of
crime and crashes in a
neighborhood
and
Reduce Social Harm.
WHAT CAN DDACTS DO FOR
YOUR AGENCY?





Shows a clear relationship between crashes and
crime
Renews an emphasis on traffic safety contacts,
not tickets
Provides flexible deployment strategies
Addresses several CALEA® Accreditation
standards
Builds stronger relationships with stakeholders
and partners
The DDACTS
philosophy
and model
are discussed
in the

Seven Guiding Principles
Partners / Stakeholder Participation
Data Collection
Data Analysis

Outcomes
Why DDACTS?

Increasing demands and limited resources

Conflicting/competing demands for service

Crime and crashes often occur in close proximity

Crimes often involve a motor vehicle

Vehicle stops can yield valuable intelligence
Why DDACTS?
If crimes and crashes are not as low
as you would want them to be, a
fresh approach may be needed.
“Insanity is doing the same thing
over and over again and expecting
different results.”
- Albert Einstein
Size Does Not Matter!

DDACTS has been successfully
implemented in a wide variety of
agencies nationwide.
• Small, Medium and Large
• Urban, Suburban, Rural Jurisdictions
