INC Delegate Meeting Features Presentation on New Philosophy for Public Safety
Troy Riggs
Shawn Smith
February 9, 2019 DENVER -DenverINC’s February Delegate Meeting, beautifully hosted by Denver Health, featured a fascinating presentation from Troy Riggs, Director of Public Safety and Shawn Smith, Director of Financial Planning and Analysis. They spoke about a new philosophy of addressing Denver’s public safety needs called the Denver Opportunity Index (DOI).
Using census data, the Department of Public Safety (DOS) reviewed 142 census tracts in the metro area for median household income, education levels social and health factors as compared to city averages, along with the prevalence of crime in each area. Riggs stated “Compiling and analyzing data allows the DOS to look at social factors that may be contributing to behaviors that ultimately impact public safety.”
