Originally established by Commissioner William Bratton and his colleagues in the New York City Police Department, Compstat has emerged as a new organisational paradigm in policing. This paper presents data drawn from the written views of police managers from across the USA. The respondents were attending the Administrative Officer's Course at the Southern Police Institute of the University of Louisville, Kentucky. During the course of their studies, they read several works on Compstat, including Silverman's (1999) work, NYPD Battles Crime. Content analysis of their written comments reveals the strengths and weaknesses that they associate with the Compstat model.

In 1990 the New York City Police Department committed itself to implementing community-oriented policing throughout the city. They selected the 72nd precinct in Brooklyn to test a comprehensive police model with full staffing and resources. The Police Foundation, with funding from the National Institute of Justice, conducted a process evaluation of the program, which among other things, examined its effects on the structure and operations of police activities. Results showed that officers had favorable impressions of community policing and that they were able to identify residents' concerns and develop effective methods for solving neighborhood problems.
