JPD new officers attend first COMPSTAT meeting

JPD said on its Facebook page that its newly sworn officers are attending their first COMPSTAT meeting this morning.

COMPSTAT is a data-driven management process used by many police agencies to track crime patterns, measure performance and guide deployment of resources. Departments use regular COMPSTAT meetings to review recent incidents, identify emerging problems and set tactical priorities.

For newly sworn officers, attending a COMPSTAT meeting provides an early look at how leadership monitors crime trends and holds units accountable. It also gives officers context about current patrol priorities and the information they will be expected to report and act on in the field.

The Facebook post did not include further details such as the number of officers attending or the topics under discussion. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
