The Fitchburg Police Department provides information to the community regarding crime statistics. For more information you can view our annual report for maps and data (click on annual report on left).

The Fitchburg Police Department has implemented the Compstat process under the direction of Chief Robert DeMoura.  Compstat was created by Bill Bratton and Jack Maple in the 1990's in the New York City Police Department.  Compstat promotes analysis, accountability and follow-up on selected crimes and quality of life issues.  Each month, members of the command staff, support services and other key members of other agencies in the City of Fitchburg meet and discuss emerging or ongoing crime patterns and trends within the city.  Quality of life issues and traffic activity are also topics of discussion.  Crime maps are viewed and responses (both tactical and strategic) to pressing issues are formulated.
