2. Goal:
Reduce the incidence of crime, crashes and traffic violations in a community by:
Reducing Social Harm
Increasing the Quality of Life
3. DDACTS Data Driven Approaches to Crime and Traffic Safety is an operational model that uses the integration of location-based crime and traffic data to determine the most effective and efficient methods for deploying law enforcement and other resources.
WHY:
Increasing Demands and Limited Resources for law enforcement
Law enforcement executives must prioritize competing demands for police services
Conflict between available resources and priorities is detrimental to traffic law enforcement and to crime prevention

5. Why DDACTS? Increasing demands and limited resources for law enforcement
Law enforcement executives must prioritize competing demands for services
Conflict between available resources and priorities is detrimental to traffic law enforcement and to crime prevention
Crime and crashes often occur in close proximity
Many crimes involve the use of a vehicle
Traffic stops can yield criminal identification and arrests and impact crashes simultaneously
6. DDACTSAnalyzing the Problem
YOUR data is used
YOU retain ownership of the data
Traffic analysis is combined with crime analysis
Crime and traffic data is used to identify areas needing attention
Analyzing the local problem
Assessment/measurement of local “quality of life” issues involving traffic/crime
Baseline data needs/Using what is available

13. Using a Crash/Crime Analysis Model Drilling down to local data
Crash and crime analysis allows for a deeper understanding of a problem
Provides efficiency in resource deployment
A tool to address fiscal constraints
Provides an unbiased basis for making strategic and tactical decisions

22. Use “Hot Spots” evaluation techniques
Identify specific crime and crash locations within the “hotspot” areas through:
Data Analysis
Intelligence Gathering
Deter Gun Carrying Behavior in Vehicles in focus areas
Deter Traffic Crashes in focus areas Identifying hot spots requires multiple techniques; no single method is sufficient to analyze all types of crime.
Current mapping technologies have significantly improved the ability of crime analysts and researchers to understand crime patterns and victimization.
Crime hot spot maps can most effectively guide police action when production of the maps is guided by crime theories (place, victim, street, or neighborhood).
