Data Driven Approaches to Crime and Traffic Safety workshop designed to show officers how to use data collection efforts to manage and deploy strategic resources that will decrease traffic crashes and crime.

Data-Driven Approaches to Crime and Traffic Safety
(DDACTS) is a law enforcement operational model
that integrates location-based crime and traffic
crash data to determine the most effective methods
for deploying law enforcement and other resources.
Drawing on the deterrent value of highly visible
traffic community contacts, and the knowledge that
crimes often involve motor vehicles, the goal of
DDACTS is to reduce crime, crashes, and social harm
across the country.
In addition, DDACTS positions traffic contacts as a
logical rationale for a highly visible law enforcement
presence in a community. Its focus on community
collaboration reinforces the role that partnerships
play in improving quality of life. Finally, by analyzing
the confluence of crime and crashes with calls for
service, the DDACTS model encourages law
enforcement agencies to use effective interventions
and new strategies to address all three issues.
