Performance Measures (Formerly COMPSTAT)
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) has transitioned from the static Operational Performance Measures reports to interactive Power BI dashboards, enhancing accessibility and interactivity.
Additionally, through approved Governance, as of June 30th, 2023, the Department of Adult Institutions COMPSTAT 13-Month report has been decommissioned, with the last reporting month of June 2023. The core data elements have been migrated to the Senate Bill 601 and Incident Report Tracking dashboards.

About COMPSTAT
COMPSTAT (short for COMPuter STATistics or COMParative STATistics) began as a performance management process in the New York City Police Department and has since been adopted by many agencies. COMPSTAT is not a computer or a software system but a management philosophy or organizational management tool similar to Six Sigma or TQM.
At CDCR, COMPSTAT represents a system-wide collaborative approach to collecting, reviewing, and reporting key data metrics to inform strategic and operational decision-making. Established in a computerized configuration in 2008, it’s used to monitor program functions, identify areas of concern, and employ data-driven decision making to improve operational processes.
Historical COMPSTAT Reports contained operational data that was posted on the CDCR public website on a monthly basis, including the 13-Month COMPSTAT Report, CDCR’s Annual Performance Measures Report, and Senate Bill 601 (SB 601) Statistical Reports.
