The CrimeFighters, over their careers as Police Chiefs, sworn officers,
researchers, consultants and devotees of civic life have cut homicide
and other violent crime by half in “the murder capital of
America.”
The CrimeFighters LLC gives dedicated and expanded focus to the
crime reduction services Linder has provided to law enforcement
agencies for over ten years. Joining The CrimeFighters as principals
are three of the nation's most renowned and effective law enforcement
professionals, who each were the operational directors, under their
police CEOs, of nation-leading crime reductions among cities of
their own size over multiple years.
The CrimeFighters have made major inroads on "quality of life"
crime and the urban blight that comes with it. They have improved
crimefighting efficiencies and reduced overall complaints by citizenry
in numerous metropolitan areas nationally.
The CrimeFighters is the only crime consultantcy who can be held
directly responsible for the improved effectiveness of over eight
major American Police Departments.
Founders Jack Maple and John Linder contributed a unique combination
of expertise to this enterprise. Under the direction of New York
Police Commissioner William J. Bratton, Maple created the COMSTAT
process that has been credited by the John Jay College of Criminal
Justice in its study of the sustained, dramatic drops in crime in
New York City with being “perhaps the most significant aspect
of the [New York Police] Department’s organizational changes
within the last few years”.
