Extending the Stat Model Across the Commonwealth

Roe Paper No. 18 2007 Author(s): Somerville SomerStat Program — Publication date: 2007-09-01 Category: Better Government Abstract: After nearly a decade of evolution, municipal Stat programs, such as NYPD’sCompStat and Baltimore’s CitiStat, have proved very successful in improving city service delivery and cutting unnecessary spending.

The City of Baltimore reported $70 million in savings attributable to CitiStat in its first three years of operations.
