Data-Driven Approaches to Crime and Traffic
SafetyDDACTS

• 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.

3
DDACTS Goals

• Reduce the incidence of crime and crashes in a
  neighborhood
• and
• Reduce Social Harm.

4
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

5
The DDACTS philosophy and model are discussed in
the Operational Guidelines.
6
Seven Guiding Principles

• Partners / Stakeholder Participation
• Data Collection
• Data Analysis
• Strategic Operations
• Information Sharing and Outreach
• Monitor, Evaluate and Adjust
• Outcomes

7
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

8
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
