    This case study examines the policy development associated with the rejuvenation of the City of York, Pennsylvania between 2003 and 2010. This is a review of York’s history with the culmination of race riots in the summer of 1968 and 1969 that are recognized as the riots of 1969. The discussion is critical of a single source strategy such as COMPSTAT that is unable to serve as a standalone Community Oriented or Problem Oriented Policing strategy. Specifically, COMPSTAT is a significant strategy but without other programs or strategies simultaneously administered, COMPSTAT may be an exercise in futility. The evaluation of the York plan describes a multi-facet approach of policy development of “total community” providing examples of Community Oriented and Problem Oriented Policing along with collaboration of government, quasi-government and community. Albeit this is a multi-facet approach it also crosses numerous ethical foundations. The study serves as a review of the COMPSTAT Model and its’ utility in the City of York police and community setting to develop complete community. Finally, the case study foundation resides in data use, interviews and literature review of materials related to the York’s history relating to policy development. Such as programs initiated to alleviate crime and obviate the tensions realized in the 60’s, and the observations of community leaders that have both a hereditary and national perspective of the right fix and in the right quantity; and what has happened on a more global framework that has been useful in York, Pennsylvania.
