The New York City Police Department (NYPD) pioneered CompStat in the mid-1990s. CompStat is a computerized tool for tracking the most serious crimes and mapping them to
determine patterns and trends through crime analysis, and to hold commanders accountable for reducing crime in their areas. CompStat has become a business management tool, being adopted by departments throughout the country. Four principles govern CompStat: timely and accurate intelligence, effective tactics, rapid deployment, and relentless follow-up and assessment.
