In 2002, William Bratton, assumed the role of Chief of Los Angeles Police Department, and brought the City CompStat. CompStat, which was developed at NYPD under Bratton’s leadership, involves keeping daily-updated, spatial crime data that is reviewed at weekly command meetings. Critics point to research that shows that this method for police management through quantitative and spatial data drives data manipulation, minor arrests, and that it has been linked with racial discrimination in stop-and-frisks.
In 2008, Esri developed the Crime Analysis Mapping System (CAMS) to assist LAPD with daily crime analysis and its weekly CompStat meetings. Since then, Esri has contracted with the City for consulting support and maintenance of CAMS. Esri now offers a Dashboard for CompStat meetings as an “out of the box solution” for law enforcement.
In 2013, the LAPD was responsible for $119,000 of the City’s $1,308,000 per year contract with Esri; By 2024, this amount had increased to $160,945 of the City’s $2,650,000 per year contract with Esri.
