Using a progressive crime analysis tool helped the Columbia Police
Department stand out when award time rolled around for the Municipal
Association of South Carolina.
The
department was honored as a Municipal Achievement Award Winner for
Public Safety in 2005. The previous year, the department began using
COMPSTAT, a crime analysis tool. With COMPSTAT,
crime data is collected, analyzed and mapped regularly. When crime
occurs, police are held accountable. COMPSTAT has allowed the Columbia
Police Department to take a proactive approach toward fighting crime.
The MASC Achievement Awards program recognizes local
government officials and employees for enterprising efforts.
