Background
• A sharp increase in the number of homicide cases in T&T during the last decade
• Over 60% attributed to gang-related activity
• Yet even within high-crime areas, violence in T&T tends to be concentrated in smaller, micro-level crime places – a strong justification for hotspot policing
• Cambridge University <> TTPS partnership

The Trinidad and Tobago Homicide Hotspots Experiment
![Page 17: 6th International Conference on Evidence-Based Policing Tuesday 9 th July 2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070421/56816107550346895dd04d61/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Targets and Aims
• Reduce Serious Crime by 50% compared to control conditions
• Use all 3 “Triple Ts” of Evidence Based Policing
– Targeting the power few – Testing the Intervention through rigorous science and – Tracking with GPS tracking and effective management
(station-level Compstat)
![Page 18: 6th International Conference on Evidence-Based Policing Tuesday 9 th July 2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070421/56816107550346895dd04d61/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Selection of Targets• All Police Station Districts that have eligible hotspots within their
geographic boundaries
• Top percentile that is responsible for most of crime and disorder in Trinidad and Tobago
• Excluding Laventille
• Focus heavily on violent crimes (shootings, woundings and homicides) and overall crime harm index
• Focus indirectly on all other serious street crimes
• Increase legitimacy of T&T Police through effective but fair procedures
![Page 19: 6th International Conference on Evidence-Based Policing Tuesday 9 th July 2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070421/56816107550346895dd04d61/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Proposed Program
• Station-Level Compstat Every 14 days --hearts and minds, targeting predicted crime
• Hot Spot Patrols Hot Times—primarily in vehicles
• Patrol Tracking Maps for Compstat Discussion
• Searches for Guns
• Roadblocks Stop & Search
![Page 20: 6th International Conference on Evidence-Based Policing Tuesday 9 th July 2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070421/56816107550346895dd04d61/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Process of Random Assignment1. Rank-Order all T&T Stations according to resources available
(n of vehicles, manpower, etc.) and n of serious incidents in 12 months (shootings, homicides, woundings)
2. Exclude Besson Street Police Station--all treatment *
3. Exclude stations with fewer than 5 incidents in 12 months
4. Random assignment of stations across districts
creating 24 pairs______* Extreme outlier with 188 incidents; next in rank is Morvant Police Station with 49 incidents

Tracking Patrols
![Page 23: 6th International Conference on Evidence-Based Policing Tuesday 9 th July 2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070421/56816107550346895dd04d61/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
GPS Tracking
1. AVL GPS-based trackers
2. Hand held GPS trackers
3. Crucial: It will help us measure the link between police presence and crime
4. As crucial: Officers’ safety!

Bi-Weekly Station-Level Compstat• Common practice in T&T at Division level, but not yet at
station level
• Ongoing feed of data from CAPA
• Winning the hearts and minds of officers with:1. Positive and negative reinforcements 2. Quick response to issues: Discussing challenges and obstacles
at the tactical level3. Accountability: ownership of problems at hotspots by
designated officers
