7. Proactive Policing vs. Reactive Policing
Changing the culture
Proactive Policing vs. Reactive Policing
Reactive policing: responding to calls for service and deploying resources as needed, upon request
Proactive policing: utilizing data to deploy resources in order to prevent the actual call for service

11. Changing the Culture: predictive Analytics and data-driven decision making
Supervisors must incorporate into:
30-Day Enforcement Plans
specialized campaigns
routine unobligated traffic patrol assignments
Established expectations; Top Down Approach
Standard Promotional Interview Topic

12. Operation Nighthawk
Analyzed data collected early in TITAN to develop data driven enforcement plan
Identified a specific demographic contributing to fatalities at nighttime: young white males driving pick up trucks
First 6 months of nighttime enforcement plan resulted in 22 fewer deaths
Change the title to Operation Nighthawk.
