Summary

Compstat and community policing are two of the most powerful engines of police reform to have emerged in the United States over the past 25 years. Researchers have tended to assess their individual merits and weaknesses, but there are virtually no studies on how they interact when implemented in the same police organization. Based on a national survey of large police departments (>100 sworn) and fieldwork conducted at seven police agencies between 2006 and 2007, this report presents findings from the first systematic research on this co-implementation issue. In doing so, it illuminates the state of implementation of each reform throughout the United States, and the nature and extent of resulting compatibility challenges.
