The University of Maryland’s Institute for Governmental Service and Research (IGSR) is leading the initiative entitled “Implementing and Institutionalizing CompStat and Crime Analysis in Maryland.” A combination of researchers and practitioners with experience implementing and working with the important components of CompStat - supervision and management, crime mapping and analysis, and problem solving - has developed a multi-phased plan designed specifically to assist Maryland law enforcement agencies in implementing and institutionalizing CompStat into their organizational structures.
The overarching purpose of this initiative is to expand the implementation and institutionalization of CompStat and crime analysis into as many Maryland police agencies as possible by providing tailored assessment, training, and technical assistance and making available standardized systems for accountability and crime analysis to these agencies. This website is constructed and maintained as a part of this initiative, as a means to provide CompStat resources to Maryland law enforcement agencies. The Maryland Governor’s Office of Crime Control and Prevention is funding this project under grant number BJAG-2010-1406.
