This year’s winner of the Herman Goldstein Award for Excellence in Problem-Oriented Policing is the Chula Vista, California Police Department for its initiative focused on reducing domestic violence. The agency analyzed over 10,000 DV calls and incidents and then implemented a tiered response model in one district, resulting in a 24% reduction in domestic violence crimes and positive feedback from both victims and police officers. The initiative is now being expanded department-wide. The winning submission along with other finalists will be posted on the website of the Center for Problem-Oriented Policing.
