COMPASS/Mapping-National ID Database
by Niki Raapana, Revised 6/18/05
 
Everything in the world is being mapped and tracked in a global database, including animals, humans, and all their property.
 
COMPASS is the acronym for Community Mapping, Planning and Analysis for Safety Strategies. The new central government database is designed to gather, store and categorize every available scrap of personal information on Americans. COMPASS uses information from previously protected government records and all “other” sources. It was created by the U.S. Department of Justice in 1999 under the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS). COMPASS gathers data for the United States of America's Reinvented Government. COMPASS helps government agencies to protect and promote the new definition of the “public good.” Seattle COMPASS Privacy Council members assured the ACL in the summer of 2001 that they were only using the COMPASS data as aggregate data (statistics). Later at that same meeting the Seattle Mayor's attorney admitted they may use the data to “help people find jobs.”

The History of COMPASS
 
In the U.S., COMPASS is funded under the Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS). In 1999, COMPASS was created by COPS' former Director of Grants, Gil Kerlikowskie. Throughout 1999, Seattle action teams experimented with innovative ways to gather private citizen's data, and then used their documented success inside their application to become a pilot test site for COMPASS. Seattle, WA was chosen as a designated pilot test for COMPASS in January, 2000, and a month later, “community cop” Gil Kerlikowskie was “chosen” to replace retiring Seattle Police Chief Norm Stamper. In September, 1999 Seattle City Councilmember Peter Steinbrueck proposed a transient tracking program that was challenged and stopped by local homeless groups. EPIC is reporting a new round of attempts to gather data on the nation's homeless and poor. Not suprising to the ACL is HUD's involvement in Homeless Management Information Strategies (HMIS) and it's listed under HUD Community Planning and Development. Mapitude is the updated version of HUD's Community 2020 Data Software.
