Abstract: Data helps drive better, more informed decision making. With this in mind, the IACP and IACP Net have joined forces with support from the COPS Office to create the new Law Enforcement Benchmarking and Performance Analytics Portal. The Benchmark Portal allows you to conduct comparative analyses with peer agencies and is free for participating agencies. Law enforcement users can input data on a variety of variables, from agency demographics to crime and arrest rates, and see graphic visualizations of where their agency stands relative to similarly sized agencies. Thinking of starting a new program or adding new specialized staff? The Benchmark Portal can help you identify and connect with agencies that may have done similar work.
