Ground rules for SB Stat Meetings
1. No stupid questionsUse this space to ask and address difficult questions safely
2. Data-driven decision making
Strive to make decisions based on whatever most recent data is available
3. Relentless follow-up
Identify clear action items and owners after each meeting
4. A bias towards actionContinuously seek to improve: our data, our ways of working, etc.
Good questions to be asking…
•What are the next steps on this project? Who’s going to own it?
•Do we have the data we need to make a good decision? If not, how can we get that data?
•Is there a strategy or hypothesis on this issue we want to test during the next quarter?

A tower that the officer inserts the SD which dumps the photos into a server and wipes the cardConsiderations: lack of checks and balances for corrupt photos, wrong photos, or missing/incorrect case numbers Checks: uploaded to a temp folder for processing and final filing by Records/Photo Lab
Adding some property types to the page: spoon, fitted sheet, comforter, boxers vs briefs, bra panties etc. cell phones are still telephone but if there was a slot to add carrier and number would benefit anyone writing a search warrant, USB drive/external hard drive would be another. just an update for the times.
Availability of touch screen on devices at all times to fill out forms. This is mostly disabled due to Aries 6, which is required by the state for crash reports.

Goals

New in 2021: Quarterly Statisitics Review
What’s the Quarterly Statistics Review?
•New this year across all SB Stat Focus Areas is a review of recent programmatic data and statistics relevant to the Stat project portfolio.
•These reviews will occur in every Stat meeting to help the audience be data-driven in their thinking and ensure data important to residents stay top of mind.
How does this data help the City manage performance?
•Revisiting data frequently across departments helps the City develop common language for asking questions and working together.
•For Police Stat, this data will help City Leadership understand patterns of crime in South Bend and inform how city actions may affect outcomes.
•Including how departments can collaborate with SBPD to affect those outcomes
SBStat 2021
Literature review on Police statistics
•“First, the work of the police is, by far, not
the only influence on crime rates. An array of
factors such as levels of education, rates of
poverty….influence the level of crime in a
community”
•“[Use data to] spot emerging threats early,
pick up on precursors and warning signs, use
their imaginations to work out what could
happen…and do all this before much harm is
done.”
•Best practice options for police statistics:
o Community Satisfaction
o Serious crime breakdown by geographic
units of analysis
o Percent of sworn staff who have completed
training on key community-sensitive topics
within the past three years
o Response times
o Public space crime vs. private space crime
