In the gritty streets of 1980s New York, one sharply dressed transit cop didn’t just show up - he shook the system.
Wearing a bow tie and a Homburg hat, Jack Maple dared to rethink how crime was fought. Armed with hand-drawn “Charts of the Future” and relentless follow-up, he challenged leadership styles, demanded accountability, and helped shift the trajectory of crime in America’s largest city.
His bold vision sparked the creation of CompStat - a data-driven revolution that moved policing from reactive to proactive, and spread from the subways of New York to many squad rooms across the nation.
This short clip tells the story of a fearless change agent who turned vision into action and helped transform modern policing.
If you’re looking for a powerful reminder - and a valuable lesson - in what’s possible when leadership embraces innovation, data, and accountability, this is a story worth watching.
