John MacariHOST
true.
John MacariHOST
And so anything that happens is going to be like CompStat worthy, newsworthy, because of all the things that you're talking about.
John MacariHOST
Very political is what I would like to say.
John MacariHOST
So I won't necessarily say it was easier.
5 MINS LATER
Eric DymHOST
Do you have as many as you have in Times Square or other locations? I don't think so.
Eric DymHOST
So I do think the Central Park, operationally, I do think it's easier.
Eric DymHOST
And I do think that a CO, if he had the right manpower, the correct... manpower and strength should be able to get a handle on that command, especially with what we learned with CompStat, with the resources that we have and the technology.
Eric DymHOST
There's no reason why you can't get a handle on Central Park unless you don't have the manpower, but you won't admit it.
Stephen McAllisterGUEST
And then ultimately, he gives me the chance to... as a captain, take over a very unique role as the commanding officer of TARU, Technical Assistance Response Unit.
Stephen McAllisterGUEST
He is now a commissioner of operations, which was in charge of the CompStat process and also had under them the TARU unit.
Stephen McAllisterGUEST
Taru, he gives me this opportunity as a young captain.
Stephen McAllisterGUEST
And I went there and you got some of the most brilliant detectives doing basically anybody who is doing a high level investigation and is kind of stuck.
Dan BonginoHOST
Investigative authorities in South Carolina, I don't care, put criminals in jail.
Dan BonginoHOST
And we refocused assets, we strategized, we instituted a Comstat-like system, a reporting system.
Dan BonginoHOST
We interviewed SAC special agents in charge every single week, cracked down.
Dan BonginoHOST
And what happened? Quote, the FBI dramatically increased enforcement activity in 2025, as I says.
Peter MoskosGUEST
And this is going back decades.
Peter MoskosGUEST
And I will say perhaps CompStat was the original one of that.
Peter MoskosGUEST
But that was just within the... well other organizations join once it was once it was a success but breaking down those barriers um it's sort of unsexy it's it's but it's it's a really important part of of city government
Sandeep KaushikHOST
basically cops can't stop crime on their own that you need a kind of unified effort between the the political front and the social service front and the and the police we're getting oh i stopped some crime but yeah
Steven ChanGUEST
It was far and few in between.
Steven ChanGUEST
And right now, you know, things, they keep telling us, you guys have been to Comstat, right? They keep telling us crime is down.
Steven ChanGUEST
Well, one of my staffers, one of my interns got attacked in the subway.
Steven ChanGUEST
He had a broken eye socket and transit tried to take an assault three.
Jason ElderHOST
You brought up a good point about... mayor influence.
Jason ElderHOST
When I was stationed at Baltimore Police Department in 2001, I think 2003, it didn't happen every week, but the mayor would come into the CompStat meeting, which to this day, I don't think I've heard anybody talk about their mayor coming into their CompStat meeting on a regular basis.
Jason ElderHOST
So it was
Brian NapolitanoSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
definitely something that was a little bit different.
Frank MoranoGUEST
So, yes, crime statistics are important.
Frank MoranoGUEST
You know, the whole Bill Bratton, Ray Kelly, et cetera, you know, driving the decline of crime was data-driven through things like Comstat.
Frank MoranoGUEST
But as much as the statistics make a difference, so does the nature of the crime and random violence in a confined public space has an enormous impact on people's willingness to use mass transit.
Frank MoranoGUEST
And Nicole Gelinas, who I was talking to you about at lunch the other day, she's been great on this.
Jamie AlgattGUEST
And this happens quite often.
Jamie AlgattGUEST
Uh, I've sat in CompStat meetings.
Jamie AlgattGUEST
They have been quite inquisitive and interrogative at times, uh, where, you know, a district commander's on the hot seat, and they don't have immediate answers to questions.
Jamie AlgattGUEST
This provides them the tools to get those answers nearly immediately after they've interrogated that initial data set, and that's pretty powerful.
Kevin JanickeyGUEST
I learned a lot just being in those meetings.
Kevin JanickeyGUEST
We were doing CompStat at the time.
Kevin JanickeyGUEST
Have you heard of CompStat? Yeah.
Kevin JanickeyGUEST
That was big back then.
Kevin JanickeyGUEST
So I really had I was like a sponge at the time.
Kevin JanickeyGUEST
I was a new commander just listening to other commanders coming in and having to present CompStat.
Kevin JanickeyGUEST
Which I when I went and ran a district, I said, oh, I think I know what they're looking for.
Kevin JanickeyGUEST
You know, tell
