Clark County Sheriff's Office uses crime and traffic crash data analysis to direct high visibility deputy patrols.
In an effort to maximize the efficiency of patrol resources, and reduce instances of crime and traffic crashes the Clark County Sheriff's Office will be implementing the DDACTS model - Data Driven Approach to Crime and Traffic Safety. DDACTS utilizes statistical data from reported crime and traffic crashes to pinpoint predictable areas and times for the most effective deployment of law enforcement patrols.
DDACTS is based on local data collection and analysis to identify crime, crash and traffic related hot spots for efficient directed patrols. Drawing on the deterrent value of highly visible traffic enforcement and knowledge that crimes often involve motor vehicles, the goal of DDACTS is to reduce crime, crashes and traffic violations across the county.
DDACTS is a recognized strategy and operational plan for reducing crime and traffic crashes in urbanized communities. DDACTS is promoted by the U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration along with the U.S. Department of Justice in partnership with local stakeholders and law enforcement. DDACTS uses an integrated approach to crime reduction and traffic safety combining activity analysis models to pinpoint likely locations and times with directed high visibility patrol enforcement. Drawing on the deterrent value of traffic enforcement and the knowledge that crimes often involve the use of motor vehicles, the goal of DDACTS is to reduce the incidence of crime, crashes, and traffic violations.
