"Wednesday morning, at the unveiling of the city's new crimefighting&amp;nbsp;tool, CompStat, San Francisco Police Chief George Gascon&amp;nbsp;had the city say hello to his&amp;nbsp;not-so-little friend and implementer, LAPD detective Jeff Godown.Gascon intends to bring Godown onto his command staff to run CompStat, a part-management plan, part data-keeping system that will purportedly help the SFPD spot crime trends.&amp;nbsp;Once a month, the 10 district station captains will report to Gascon and Godown&amp;nbsp;and be&amp;nbsp;held&amp;nbsp;accountable for recognizing and understanding fluctuations in crimes&amp;nbsp;reported, arrests, and instances of officers using force.Compstat, while widely viewed as an effective law enforcement tool, has also been criticized for incentivizing the underreporting of crime.&amp;nbsp;Police union members&amp;nbsp;in both New York City and in Miami have&amp;nbsp;been vocal about this, and Gascon and Godown are aware of the&amp;nbsp;problem. \"Don't try to BS me,\" Gascon&amp;nbsp;told the captains straight away."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
