Compstat and Organizational Change .....

Compstat and Organizational Change in the Lowell Police Department by James Willis, Stephen Mastrofski, David Weisburd, and Rosann Greenspan, examines the special challenges and opportunities that arise when a small department tries to institute a program of organizational change that originated in much larger agencies. The report, from the Police Foundation, provides a detailed description of the Lowell, Massachusetts Compstat program; explains the benefits and challenges of implementing the various key elements of Compstat; and draws on our knowledge of the Lowell experience to provide some insights into Compstat's future in law enforcement.
