One Week in Heron City follows Chief Laura Harrison through her first week on the job in this fictional city of 400,000. We invite you to eavesdrop and see how law enforcement agencies might eliminate pre-established mentalities and see problems in a new light.
This case study is presented in three parts:
The mayor briefs Chief Harrison on critical problems. She meets with the heads of her Compstat and community and intelligence-led policing units as well as the head of the IT division. She also meets a young IT analyst, Nigel Jewett, who has some interesting proposals for analyzing data collected by the department.

In the second half of her first week, Chief Harrison has a contentious meeting with the head of evidence-based policing and talks in detail with Nigel about his take on how to approach problems.
