Current:

Roll Call is part of members’ collective bargaining agreements and is provided 12 minutes prior to the officers’ shift. This is very limited time to provide updates regarding crime trends, wanted subjects, updates on policy and procedures, etc. Since April 6, 2016, a CompStat Roll Call memorandum designed to improve internal communication and provide clear messaging and goal setting has been disseminated. Members also have an opportunity to submit a Department Memorandum to their commanding officer requesting to attend CompStat meetings.

Future:

This could be done with financial and technical assistance as the department does not currently possess the technical capabilities to live stream the meetings. Department members would be required to be removed from their patrol or investigative duties to watch a live stream or recorded video.

Note: The estimated cost for the technology to live stream CompStat is $100,000.
