CountyStat is a new program to address one of the County Executive’s priority objectives:

“Our residents have the right to expect every County department and every County employee to be responsive and accountable every day. To accomplish this goal, I have introduced the ‘CountyStat’ initiative, which will help us provide more effective and efficient customer service by increasing performance and ensuring that we get results. CountyStat will track information about the problems we face and the measures we are taking to address them– in real time, not with data that is old and irrelevant. I am confident that CountyStat will make our good government even better.”
